Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits album Product Description


Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits album by Dire Straits was released Jan 30, 2001 on the Vertigo (Germany) label. Also includes material from Mark Knopfler's side project, The Notting Hillbillies. Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits music CDs Additional personnel includes: Sting, Jeff Porcaro, Joop de Korte. Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits songs All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. Exactly ten years after Dire Straits' first compilation, Money for Nothing, appeared in the stores, their second, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, was released. Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits album A decade is a significant span of time, and the average band would have produced enough material for an entirely different collection, one that shared no similarities with its predecessor. Dire Straits is not the average band, however, and during those ten years, they released exactly two albums -- 1991's On Every Street, their first studio album since Brothers in Arms in 1985, and 1993's On the Night, a live album culled from tapes of the record's supporting tour. Not quite enough new material for a new greatest-hits album, but it had been years since Dire Straits had released an album of any sort (a compilation of BBC sessions snuck into the stores in 1995) -- hence the birth of Sultans of Swing.   ...See Full Description

A masterpiece from Dire Straits
Considered that most tracks were the 70's and 80's recording. Many tracks were remastered beautifully with excellent dynamics and details. Track #5 or P.I. was awesome. Better yet it was remastered in HDCD format for those who have HDCD decoder in your cd player. Definitely a collection.
