My favorite Straits!

Gonna be hard to beat the already exceptional sonics of the original CD master, though...

Did I miss it somewhere?
No multich mix of any kind ???

It's Mobile Fidelity, so no. This will complete their hybrid stereo SACD reissue series for all Dire Straits albums.

I agree, but they may get a smoother (in a good way) master. I wonder if this was a digital mix and at what bit rate? I really enjoy most of this album and listen to a couple times per year.

One of the best Straits albums in my book as well.

Agree. Same here. Interested in surround only.

[ Rant / Whining Warning ] Not top of the list for most folks here but I hope MoFi uses good quality vinyl for this pressing.
Despite my best attempts over many years, finding a low noise version of this pressing has alluded me. More tragically, the Chris Bellman 2014-21 remasters and re-issues were all pressed in GZ Media in the Czech Republic. Each example is hopelessly scuffed, scratched and/or full of pops and clicks. It's like this album is cursed. Even the OGs in great physical shape are noisy <sigh> . . . take my money MoFi

That's why we have modern digital media.

I don’t know why but I only discovered this album a week ago. I never knew Dire Straights released it and I owned all their earlier albums! Life must has been busy in those days

Oh Garry, I think you're gonna love it, I sure do.

Lots of DR variation from all the prior releases of this one seems like though; I may need to jump on this

Maybe MoFi can work on completing the SACD series for Billy Joel.

But vinyl sounds soooo good . . .

But vinyl sounds soooo good . . .

Only if you like the sound of surface noise, inner groove distortion, mono bass, etc, etc.
YUCK
