Dire Straits...SRM1-1197 1978 Murcury. Played it twice!

'Dire Straits'. I like to describe it as "guitarchitecture". Knopfler and crew were absolute mavericks putting out an album like this considering some of the crap that was out at that time. I just could not get over the range in Knopflers guitar work from start to finish on this album. Besides the usual suspects, I really enjoy the slide work on 'Water of Love'. The 'Communique' album is no slouch either, could never get into 'Lady Writer' though. The early Straits will always be my favorite Sraits.

I agree about Dire Straits. I don't own their records or listen to them now, but at the time, when I was in junior high school, the guitar work was a real ear-opener. I still know the solo to "Sultans Of Swing" in my sleep, the learning of which was a big step forward in my playing.

Well no turntable but I have spent some time listening to music this rainy day in Arizona.
