DIRE STRAITS "communique" cd, 1979
album stats: #5 UK, #5 AU, #11 US, no chart info for Canada
"singles":
"lady writer".....................#51 UK, #95 AU, #45 US, #51 CAN
"portobello belle"..............#102 UK.
Dire Straits' second album,
lots of those finger pickin' bluegrass style guitar sounds happening here, same quality lyrics as the first album, but not as catchy/radio friendly as that one IMO...
my least liked album of theirs but still bloody good,but i havent heard "on every street", so what i mean is...my least favourite of the first five, but i still like it...
album and singles didnt chart as high as the debut, so im probably correct with my 'less catchy/radio friendly' comments above...
album still managed to sell 5million copies, so not really a failure by anyone's standards.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: news
best track: angel of mercy
