Description
Dire Straits never made a big to-do about its final run. In classic understated British fashion, the band let its music speak for itself. And how. Originally released in September 1991, On Every Street became the group’s swan song — a testament to the influence, musicianship, and integrity of an ensemble whose merit has never
been tainted by cash-grab reunions or farewell treks. The platinum record also brings the band full circle in that it returns Dire Straits to a quartet formation; finds the group refreshingly out of step with the era’s prevailing trends; and sees leader Mark Knopfler and Co. knocking out song after song with the deceptive ease of a punter
tossing back a pint at a pub. That combination of subtle cool, clever poise, and innate control dominate On Every Street. Sourced from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 45RPM 2LP set and hybrid SACD of On Every Street present the album like it has always been meant to be experienced: in reference-grade sound. Recorded at AIR Studios in London, the album features all of the band’s sonic hallmarks — wide separation, visceral textures, seemingly limitless air, broad soundstages, atmospherics you can almost reach out and feel. Each of these elements is made more vibrant, physical, and lifelike on these
reissues, which bring into transparent view Knopfler’s sculpted guitar lines, expressive tones, and laid-back vocals — as well as the balanced accompaniment from his band mates. These are versions on which you can hear the blossom and decay of individual notes, and picture the size and shape of the studio. Open-minded in its
approaches and unconcerned with commercial expectations, On Every Street deserves nothing less.
