First LP - first CD.

First CD I bought - Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits..... FFS nercia19 best not mention that group

The frustrating thing with D-S is that their early stuff (ie the first 2 albums) were excellent. Simply recorded, with really great song-structure, shame they went so commercial so early on, but it's a trap many other (originally) great bands fall into. Saying that, one of the much later albums - On Every Street - is one I listen to regularly.

The early Level 42 material was excellent too but they went to the same way.

Their first and best album, by a long shot, One of my favorite albums (Not just Dire Straits) full stop. (.)

If you like the first Dire Straits album then I would recommend getting the 'Live At the BBC' CD which is an excellent live performance of the same (plus a couple of other tracks) recorded before they hit the big time.

Let us know your verdict. I had a listen to it last night as not played it in years. It was like they were piping the studio feed into my living room

Macca, I am still enthralled with your speakers. Any changes or news about them. Not here as it will be off topic - reactivate your thread about them.
