Notes/Description:
Numbered, remastered gatefold - 45rpm Blockbuster Brothers In Arms Helped Define 80s, Catapulted Dire Straits to Arena Status · The End-All-Be-All Ultimate-Sounding Version of This Audiophile Standard: Mobile Fidelity 180g 45RPM 2LP Captures Delicate Nuances, Revealing Textures, Finite Information · 1985’s Brothers In Arms Has Sold More Than Nine Million Copies in U.S. Alone, Ranks #351 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time List One of the world’s best-selling records and an era-defining Grammy-winning set that catapulted an acclaimed band to arena status, Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms is the kind of epic spectacular that comes around only once or twice a decade. Surpassed only in fame and visibility during the period by Michael Jackson’s Thriller, the 1985 album remains idiosyncratic for its covetable combination of adventurous songwriting, precision-based performances, and reference-caliber fidelity. Anchored by “Money for Nothing,” immediately identifiable via Mark Knopfler’s resonant finger-picked guitar riff and Sting’s “I want my MTV” vocal refrain, Dire Straits’ fifth album is stuffed with bluesy signatures, jazz-rock motifs, clever lyrics, and organic accents. Perfection abounds, not only in the manner in which the band nails its pop hooks and up-tempo boogies with debonair flair, but also in the control room. Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed at RTI, and possessing a richness befitting the album’s stellar reputation, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP reissue of Brothers In Arms breathes with transparent highs, atmospheric heft, and lifelike tonalities. The sense of realism this edition delivers will leave slack-jawed even the most demanding listeners. Never has it sounded so reach-out-and-touch-it realistic as it does on this analoguepressing. All of the hallmark characteristics—ample spaciousness, ideal balances, widescreen dynamics, immersive depth, lush production—are here in spades. This is the hand-down ultimate-sounding version of this audiophile favorite ever made. Track List 1. So Far Away 2. Money for Nothing 3. Walk of Life 4. Your Latest Trick 5. Why Worry 6.
