Dire Straits - On Every Street
180g 2LP vinyl reissue
description
details
In September 1991, Dire Straits entered the US album charts for the last time with a new studio album. The band's sixth and (as it turned out) final studio release, On Every Street was released on November 9th. September and debuted at number 1 in the UK survey.
The LP was released a full six years and four months after their record-breaking multi-million-seller 1985, Brothers In Arms, and was followed by an exhaustive world tour. It was this grueling itinerary that made Mark Knopfler realize once and for all that the world of stadium shows, huge arenas, and massive touring entourage and equipment was no longer the one he wanted to live in.
As we know, Dire Straits never issued an official statement to announce their split, but a strong hint had come with his 1990s splinter group, the Notting Hillbillies, and their album Missing...Presumed Having A Good Time. In 1995, Knopfler devoted himself to his work outside of Dire Straits, eventually releasing his debut solo studio album, Golden Heart, which was not based on a soundtrack, a year later.
On Every Street isn't every fan's idea of the perfect final chapter in the Straits story. But it spawned a number of memorable songs, most notably the lead single "Calling Elvis," one of many demonstrations of Mark's ever-nimble rock guitar leadlines. Three more releases from the album followed with the characteristically rocking "Heavy Fuel", the thoughtful title track and the rock 'n' roll-heavy "The Bug". Other lesser known gems include the understated "Fade To Black" and "You And Your Friend".
The album debuted at number 1 in the UK chart for the week leading up to its US release, overtaking Paul Young's From Time To Time singles collection at the top. The Dire Straits album spent another four weeks in the UK Top 10 and 27 overall in its first run on the charts, which eventually grew to 36 overall. Just ten days after debuting in the band's home country, the album went double platinum there. It peaked at number 12 in the States and became another million-seller in Dire Straits history.
