FIRST PICTURES / Dire Straits: The Studios Albums 1978-1991 vinyl box

By Paul Sinclair

Universal/Mercury release their Dire Straits Studio Albums 1978-1991 vinyl box set today and here we bring you some great photos of the package.

The set contains all six albums, two of which (Brothers In Arms and On Every Street) are double LPs. The former is of course the 1985 blockbuster, which features the US number one Money For Nothing. The vinyl version of Brothers In Arms in this box features the full CD running times (the original contained edited versions of many tracks).

All the records are pressed on 180g vinyl, mastered by Bob Ludwig with lacquers cut by Chris Bellman and Bernie Grundman. This 8LP box includes a code for MP3 downloads.
