More Dire Straits
More Dire Straits – Dire Straits
- SUPERB sound throughout, with both sides of this very special British pressing rating a strong Double Plus (A++) or BETTER!
- The sound is shockingly rich, full and solid with fantastic energy – you will not believe all the space and ambience on this copy
- A Better Records Rock & Pop Top 100 title, a True Demo Disc, and our favorite by the band for both sound and music
- “…the album is remarkably accomplished for a debut, and Dire Straits had difficulty surpassing it throughout their career.”
What superb sides such as these have to offer is not hard to hear:
- The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space
- The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing. CDs give you clean and clear. Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes in 1978
- Tight, note-like, rich, full-bodied bass, with the correct amount of weight down low
- Natural tonality in the midrange — with all the instruments (and effects!) having the correct timbre
- Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional studio space
No doubt there’s more but we hope that should do for now. Playing the record is of course the only way to hear all of the above. (more…)
