Dire Straits Brothers In Arms Double Vinyl Album

Description

1985 album Brothers in Arms reissued as a 2LP half-speed mastered vinyl edition
The band s fifth album features the hits Money For Nothing , Walk Of Life , So Far Away , Brothers In Arms and Your Latest Trick . Ironically enough, it is forever associated with Phillips promotional drive for the new compact disc format and the title track was the world s first CD single. Brothers in Arms is the eighth biggest selling album of all time in the UK having sold over four million copies. This new edition is a double vinyl pressing, and like the edition in the box set it will feature the CD length audio, although of course this pressing is a half-speed and comes packaged with the OBI-strip and the all non-important certificate of authenticity . This is a 45RPM pressing.
Mark Knopfler s first film soundtrack for Bill Forsyth s film Local Hero, is also reissued as a half-speed mastered version (33RPM, this time). This was originally released in 1983. Both albums have been remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.
