Dire straits brothers in arms mofi vinyl.

However when compared to other dire straits albums this one clearly betrays its digital heritage on my very revealing system. Dire straits arresting self titled debut arrived in the midst of punk s reign but couldn t have been further removed from the era s slash and burn style. Contrary to other dire straits recordings i didn t like the brothers in arms album very much in the past because of the mostly poor cd and lp pressings i listened to. This pressing is by far the best vinyl i purchased in a decade.

The songs production and detail are excellent and mofi have done an excellent job with the source material to give vinyl that is crisp punchy and dynamic. And then there are blockbusters. Dire straits biggest selling album in fact one of the biggest selling albums worldwide of all time 1985 s brothers in arms helped musically define a decade. A sophisticated rock masterpiece it reached 1 stayed there nine weeks and is nine times platinum.
