dire straits -what to buy


i'm trying to decide what "version" of dire straits cds/albums to purchase. any recommendations as far as which album and what cd version to buy? i see that there are newly remastered versions of the different albums at Tower Records. should i simply purchase the "best of" (i.e. "Sultans of Swing" HDCD) that's out on CD. i actually would prefer vinyl but don't see any availability. thanks for your suggestions.

Yes by all means get the remastered greatest hits album, "Sultans of Swing" one of the best sounding mainstream CDs ever recorded. Also solid selection with no filler, start here.
Your next purchase after SoS, should be "Making Movies", only 7 tracks and 2 are weak, but still contains best material of any DS album.
Add one more to these good suggestions: Mark Knopfler's solo "Golden Heart." HDCD recording with some very strong cuts.
I can't live without Dire Strait's first live album, "Alchemy". I own all of Dire Strait's stuff, Alchemy is a must have. Double CD set, incredible renditions.
