Edited 9 months agoMatrix / Runout (Variant 36): 824 499-2 07 [RO, etched]
BUYER BEWARE: My copy of this release has started to pinhole, as have quite a few West German
releases that were manufactured in the mid to late 1980's.
There are articles, on-line, that have been written about this problem.
My advice is to rip your copy of this release asap, before the pinholes increase & become problematic
during playback of the CD. -
Edited one year agoTrès dynamique, des détails, des timbres, une belle cohérence d'ensemble. Ce CD de très belle facture rivalise avec le SACD de Mofi (que je trouve plus fin sur la voix, mais moins excitant sur les impacts de la batterie). Highly recommended !
-
Have to weigh in and this as being a must own version of this iconic album. This may have half the level output of the sacd version I own but it has twice the detail and dynamic range. I scratch my head as to why their is so much disdain toward the compact disc format. From vinyl fans and the conglomerates alike, and yet it reinvented a stale music industry, revolutioized all aspects of the consumer experience, and provided the necessary, significantly better sound, as this CD clearly demonstrates. -
-
My copy has the Variant 3 matrix described for this release, (Matrix / Runout (Variant 3): 824 499-2 12 #) but text on credits reads 'Mastered by - John Dent at the Sound Clinic, London.'
Assuming this is not the Bob Ludwig master but all other info on this page describes my CD. Any thoughts? -
Edited 7 years agoOnce more, shout out to the original CD. I have to do these things because the reviewed discs sound so amazing - seriously, you can't have a better demonstration disc for your system at this price (except maybe an early "Communique").
And the music doesn't need any more praise either - to me, this was Dire Straits at their absolute peak with a great variety of songs and purely beautiful guitar playing this is a must for any music lover (who can stand that digital 80s sound - it can be a bit strange at first)
