Album of the Day

Led by charismatic singer-songwriter, producer and instrumental virtuoso Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits emerged on the U.K. club and pub circuit and went on to defined the late '70s and early '80s with such monster hits as “Sultans Of Swing,” “Romeo And Juliet,” “Money For Nothing” and “Walk Of Life.” Now available as 6-CD, 8-LP and digital collections, DIRE STRAITS: THE STUDIO ALBUMS 1978-1991 includes all six of the band's studio sets. Featuring the group's self-titled 1978 debut, COMMUNIQUÉ, MAKING MOVIES (released 40 years ago today), LOVE OVER GOLD, global No.1 smash and double Grammy winner BROTHERS IN ARMS and final release ON EVERY STREET, THE STUDIO ALBUMS 1978-1991 displays Dire Straits' sophisticated guitar rock and literate, story-telling lyrics to perfection.
