Simply spectacular
Great guitar, opening song being "Telegraph Road" which for a music lover, it's ALL about music. Once again, Knopfler doesn't disappoint. Great riffs,
loads of change, just terrific. .


outstanding
Will not disappoint, could be a little longer with a few more of the older songs. This is a must for every M/K D/S fan.


private investigations cd


I bought this cd for my husband. . he loves it. great purchase.


Comprehensive Collection
There are a couple of things missing, The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies and soundtracks of all time, but this collection is very go and not simply a Greatest Hits Package. Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler have been making alot of very good music for a long time (I admit Money For Nothing was the first song I really knew from MTV) and often trying to put together a set of music for artist like this is hard.

Of course there is Money and Sultans of Swing, but songs like Brothers in Arms, a very moving track that is not as well known and Skateaway show that in putting this together the good breadth and depth was considered.

Very well done and not just a throw together greatest hits.


Quite a masterpiece
Dire Straits compilation is quite a masterpiece of their work, starting from their early times to the most recent album; Great for those who have not followed DS through the time and good to have for those who have.
