You can't really go wrong with any of the six studioalbums by Dire Straits. Just like Van Halen I and II (albums released the same years, 1978-1979, as these with Dire Straits ) the first albums had a bigger impact. The second albums has the same sound as the first. But is that a bad thing? I don't think so. You get more of what you love.
For me? I think the debut, Love Over Gold and Brothers in Arms is the "most have albums" from Dire Straits... But all three others, this one, Making Movies and On Every Street are highly enjoyable and welcome editions to any collecfion of rock n' roll albums. The difference between all the albums isn't that far. My favorite is Love Over Gold and On Every Street might be the weakest but they are not mountains a part. Neither is Communiqué.
With other acts who done plenty more albums over the years like The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Rush, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Neil Young UFO or Eric Clapton I can't recommend all their albums no matter how much I like the bands or artists. With Dire Straits I dare say that I can.

· CONDITION:
· THE RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS (WEAK) NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
(b) The record comes in its original, custom, inner sleeve, which is UNIQUE to this album.
(c) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
· THE COVER
COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams (nothing significant)
- Cover has two corners slightly dinged (nothing significant)
- Cover shows some light yellowing (minor spotty discoloration) on both sides, apparently from aging; possibly a minor printing flaw.
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
