Dire Straits were a British rock band formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (lead vocals and lead guitar), his younger brother David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and backing vocals), John Illsey (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Pick Withers (drums and percussion). Dire Straits' sound drew from a variety of musical influences, including jazz, folk, and blues, and came closest to beat music within the context of rock and roll. Despite the prominence of punk rock during the band's early years, their stripped-down sound contrasted with punk, demonstrating a more "rootsy" influence that emerged from pub rock.

Brothers in Arms is the fifth studio album released on 13 May 1985 by Vertigo internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Dire Straits' biggest selling album Brothers In Arms has sold over 30 million copies, and was the first album to sell a million copies on CD. The album won two Grammy Awards in 1986, and also won Best British Album at the 1987 Brit Awards.  In 2003, the album ranked number 351 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. The album is the eighth best selling album in UK chart history, is certified nine times platinum in the United States, and is one of the world's best selling albums having sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

They also became one of the world's most commercially successful bands, with worldwide records sales of over 100 million.  Dire Straits won four Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards—winning Best British Group twice, two MTV Music Video Awards, and various other music awards. The band's songs include "Money For Nothing", "Sultans of Swing", "So Far Away", "Walk Of Life", "Brothers In Arms", "Private Investigations", "Romeo and Juliet", "Tunnel of Love", and "Telegraph Road".  WIKIPEDIA

[PLEASE REFER TO THE SIDEBAR BELOW] 

INFLUENCE OF BROTHERS IN ARMS "Looked at now with 20/20 vision of hindsight, the image on the sleeve of Brothers in Arms seems uncannily prophetic: that National steel guitar heading up into the clouds—a shiny 6 stringed rocket devoid of any obvious means of propulsion—describes, better than any words can, what happened to Dire Straits after the release of their 5th studio album. Up till the summer of 1985 success had, for them, come as a by-product of the music making process. They had never courted celebrity, chased fads, or played safe. Dire Straits had been loved and respected as one of the few bands to have maintained strong and credible links with the multifarious roots of rock and roll at a time—remember all the desperate pop posing of the early 80s?—when roots were emphatically not a fashionable place to be".
 Robert Sandall, British Music Journalist on CD sleeve of the Re-mastered 1996 version of the album. WIKIPEDIA
