DIRE STRAITS – Money For Nothing [Greatest Hits remixed / remastered 2022] HQ

DIRE STRAITS‘ 1988 greatest hits album ”Money For Nothing” is being reissued today, featuring a 2022 fresh remaster done by legend Bob Ludwig, plus some remixed tracks.
This collection was their first ‘best of’ and took advantage of the massive success of the band’s 1985 album Brothers In Arms. The compilation featured highlights from their first five albums, including ‘Sultans of Swing’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘Private Investigations’ and three of the five singles from ‘Brothers In Arms’.
This new ”Money For Nothing” reissue includes remixes of ‘Twisting By The Pool’, ‘Where Do You Think You’re Going?’, ‘Telegraph Road (Live Remix)’ which was previously only available on some CD versions, and a previously unreleased alternative live take of ‘Portobello Belle (Live)’.

Dire Straits straddled the globe with their sophisticated rootsy guitar rock wedded to literate story-telling lyrics. Emerging from the club and pub circuit in 1977, Dire Straits were led by charismatic Geordie singer-songwriter, record producer and composer Mark Knopfler.

Knopfler is one of the most successful musicians the UK has ever produced and is often cited as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Dire Straits’ sound defined the late 70s/early 80s with monster global hits such as “Sultans Of Swing”, “Romeo And Juliet”, “Money For Nothing” and “Walk Of Life”, all of which are all included on this release. Dire Straits’ 1985 album Brothers In Arms, a global No 1 and double Grammy Award winner, is one of the best selling albums of all time. After releasing their final album On Every Street in ’91, Knopfler set off on a new path as a solo artist.

It’s just great to have all these superb songs into one package, fully remastered with a pristine sonic output.
