Dire Straits - Dire Straits

Discover the album that started it all with the self-titled debut from Dire Straits. Released in 1978, this record was a breath of fresh air, standing in stark contrast to the punk and disco dominating the charts. Mark Knopfler's clean, intricate fingerstyle guitar work and laid-back vocal delivery defined a new sound in Rock music. The album is a masterclass in songwriting and musicianship, with a cool, smoky atmosphere that feels both timeless and sophisticated. Of course, it features the international smash hit "Sultans of Swing," a track that remains a cornerstone of classic radio to this day. This is pure, unadulterated Blues Rock at its finest—an essential cornerstone for any serious vinyl collection.
