I have always heard how well produced this CD was but until yesterday I'd never heard it. I own their Money for Nothing CD which is good but Brothers's is really well done. I got the remastered version at a used CD shop so the price was even better

"Brothers In Arms" (BIA) is a truly rerference-quality CD. Doesn't hurt that the songs are pretty good too. :>) (I hate to demo the system with stuff that is technically wonderful but otherwise painful to listen to.) :>) While it doesn't contain Dire Strait's most memorable single (Sultans Of Swing), all of the cuts on BIA are at least listenable and some are downright masterful as tuneful, well performed, social commentary, and some can be considered "just fun" -- which is still a good thing. :>) You should get many years of repeat-play enjoyment out of this CD investment.

I have that as well as the first album and 'Making Movies' in the remastered CDs. All sound very nice. Well worth the price even new.

This is one of my "test" discs, but only from track 4 (Your Latest Trick) onward. The constant radio-play burnt me out on So Far Away, Money For Nothing, and Walk Of Life. However, Ride Across The River is one of my all-time favorite songs.

My 20th Anniversary Edition of Dire Straits Brothers In Arms arrived from Acoustic Sounds today. I have listened to the SACD 5.1 Surround mix once and my initial impression is that this is an absolutely "must have" great recording.

Hi there,
First off, I'd like to really really thank (read: Damn you all!!! ) out there who have address and answered my (most amateurish) queries about vinyl. I've jumped headlong into it and there's no getting out now! But more on that later in the post...

Hello,
We (80x owners) likely have the age where we bought our albums on vinyl, or made copies from friends on compact cassette. Later I bought the cd' s.
As you aware a lot of the good albums albums are now rereleased as remastered version + bonus track+ sometimes dvd.

This CD is hard to come by. It was released in 1986 and so soon they had it out of print. Special EFX "Slice of Life" CD, I snagged a used but mint condition from a collector in Melrose Ave. for $18.95 and I used to have this CD. I've seen so many imports like what we use to like in the 80's...
