About Sultans Of Swing: The Very Best Of Dire Straits
Product Description Driven by the cinematic songwriting and superb guitar playing of Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits's music had a unique sound, presence and staying power that made them one of the world's most successful bands. Sultans Of Swing is a new anthology featuring the band's finest moments and biggest hits. Amazon.com This compilation repeats seven tracks from 1988's Money For Nothing anthology. Given that Mark Knopfler and crew have recorded one new album during the decade between best-of collections, how different could Sultans of Swing be? For one thing, CD dominance has made for longer compilations, and this one is fleshed out by singles, three tracks from 1991's On Every Street, and Knopfler's solo "Local Hero" theme, performed live. More importantly, the second track here is the band's terrific second single, "Lady Writer," previously only available on the otherwise dismal Communiqué LP. Five tracks from Dire Straits' huge Brothers in Arms LP appear here, but only two tracks surface from Making Movies, the group's pinnacle achievement. Ultimately, if you own Making Movies and this compilation, you own the essential Dire Straits. --Bill Holdship
