Incredible recording. I only own 4 . if I would've known how rare it has become I would've bought more when they were easy to get. Still can't believe the dude in Colorado let his go at a reasonable price. Used yes but in perfect condition. Thank You. Don't be fooled by the one's that don't have Skateaway on side one song 6

This album contains 22 fantastic songs that aptly demonstrate the inspiration, songwriting skills and musicianship of Knopfler and this band, Dire Straits. Every song stands out as a masterpiece, declaring its own individual significance. The moods and emotions flow from the melodys and rythems so freely and effortlessly that one instantly recognizes the expertise that these songs were crafted with. Fabulous, engageing and amazing music! And also worth mentioning is the fact that this album is NOT remastered! And actually that is a good thing in this case (as it also is in some others) as the recording quality is very good, negateing the need for remastering and the resultant "compression" that often suppresses the full, natural dynamics. The high fidelity aspects of these recordings on this album are very good and the sound quality is excellent even when played on high end components and speakers. I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes Rock music, and in fact have bought and givin away three of these to friends! If you're a Dire Straits fan, this album is a "Must Have"! I would'nt want to go any longer than a week, at the longest, without hearing it again! This is a truely Great album!Read full review
I just love Mark Knopfler. He makes a guitar sing and talk to my soul. This collection showcases much of his talent over several styles of musical genres. Some songs are happy tap your feet songs while others are full of emotion.

I became a Mark Knopfler fan the first time I ever heard Dire Straits and the Sultans of Swing. This guy is one heck of a musician. His raw, husky voice is a big turn-on, too. This particular compilation (two-record set) is not ALL the best of Knopfler but, it does give one a representative sampling of what he has to offer. I decided to buy this because my Dire Straits albums keep disappearing. My kids borrow them, say they're going to burn a copy and then I never see them again (my CD's, not my kids).
Whether you're listening to the Dire Straits band or Mark by himself, you're not missing anything. He is very talented. I like his guitar styling. You will not be disappointed with this one.
