Private Investigations Best of (3 Discs) | Dire Straits

Deluxe three disc (two CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) Sound And Vision edition of this solid collection, a compelling career overview of one of rock's most distinctive groups. Includes the two CD compilation of Dire Straits and Knopfler solo recordings plus the companion DVD. Led by Mark Knopfler, whose deadpan vocal style and stunning guitar technique characterize the band's sound, Dire Straits burst on the scene in 1978. This very best of features the 1991 release, 'On Every Street', the Dylan-esque narrative of 'Romeo and Juliet' and at the collection's heart are the tracks from the 1985 blockbuster 'Brothers in Arms', including the bopping 'Walk of Life', and the irrepressible 'Money for Nothing'. Beyond showcasing Knopfler's excellent songwriting, this album is graced by his light, technically precise guitar technique (he finger-picks all of his electric leads). Universal. 2008.
