{"product_id":"605042b3-de5b-699a-fab5-b481fb113e9d","title":"DIRE STRAITS - DIRE STRAITS (MOFI VINYL 2LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDire Straits' arresting self-titled debut arrived in the midst of punk's reign but couldn't have been further removed from the era's slash-and-burn style. Recorded in West London in February 1978, the band's tasteful, jazz-inflected set embraces folk, blues, and pub rock while also tracing a direct line back to the beat-oriented sound of early rock n' roll. Country and roots accents further distinguish the British quartet's stripped-down music from any 1970s peers, as does the transparent production, which has remained revered among audiophiles the world over – and which has never been better than on this meticulous pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDown to the Waterline\u003cbr\u003eWater of Love\u003cbr\u003eSetting Me Up\u003cbr\u003eSix Blade Knife\u003cbr\u003eSouthbound Again\u003cbr\u003eSultans of Swing\u003cbr\u003eIn the Gallery\u003cbr\u003eWild West End\u003cbr\u003eLions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP version of Dire Straits features natural tonalities, superb balances, you-are-there imaging, deep-black backgrounds, and pristine clarity.
