DIRE STRAITS - Dire Straits
Remarkably accomplished album for a debut but then they worked at it - no accidental success here. No doubt at all about MK's literary persuasions either. I can tell I'm going to be listening to them chronologically over the next while, as companion pieces to John Illsley's book. They just released this one (in the book) ... and it's still a great read I'm pleased to say!
Way to kickstart a career! Ok - it wasn't actually this one, it was Sultans but anyway -
The last track has also spoken to me today - liking the grittiness - amusingly, a lot of the early photos of them are taken while they pose in some mud or other, LOL! They weren't image conscious at all - how fab - all that promise ...
