This original vinyl LP by Dire Straits is a must-have for any blues rock music fan or vinyl collector. Released under the label Warner Bros. in 1978, this first pressing edition is a rare gem that will surely bring you back to the classic rock era. This copy still has its plastic shrink-wrap and even comes with a hype sticker promoting the singles "Sultans of Swing" and "Down to the Waterline".
I'm not a professional grader, but I'm pretty sure this copy would be considered NM. The only flaw I could find was a small tear on the top corner of the inner sleeve. Everything else looks perfect. Even the slight wear that appears to be on the cover from the record rubbing against it over time is really only on the plastic wrap. This was my Dad's record, and he learned how to play "Sultans of Swing" on guitar, so he most likely only played the album once, in order to record it onto a cassette for lots of playback while he learned the song.
