Dire Straits - Love over Gold

[stevebrock]

Crikey how much better on vinyl is it!

Been listening to a sub-standard CD recording for years

The vinyl is making my hairs stand up on end - loads more detail, drums sound real - blown away by it

 

[chebby]

Eeeek!!

(Bad memories of this and ####### Phil Collins' Face Value being the only demo records allowed to be played in Linn dealerships at one time.)

Yep. My special pergatory is going to be Ivor Tiefenbrun endlessly playing 'Telegraph Road' on an LP12 with Naim NAP250 bi-amped Linn Saras in a small room....

I can't listen to it anymore because of the CD. lot's of noise, and no dynamics.

(and on a personal note: I love the dire straits, but there drummer was ..... let's say not as good as Mark K. is on his guitar)

Thats a screamer mate.

 

[stevebrock]

are you saying the CD is better than the VINYL Spockfish?

 

[floyd droid]

Hey Steve , have you been sitting there in slipper staring mode waiting to hear the broken glass in PI. :twisted:

Dum dum dum dum dum tsch dum dum dum.

 

[char_lotte]

I always thought their original drummer was very good indeed very technical but understated. I love their first album..

 

[igloo audio]

It's the only album that Mark Knofler never seems to mention in his interviews. I think I remember him saying it was over produced or something, which became a pet hate in later years. Personally, I think it's a great album :rockout:

no other way around. i don't have the vinyl, but the cd is crap. so reading your post makes me considering buying it on vinyl

What have I started?

ok that good then, the CD is really quiet, poor dymanics etc but the vinyl is louder than the CD and imho sounds excellent

 

[floyd droid]

Chebby may be back in a minute , I think I heard his rope snap

 

[BigH]

Which cd do you have?

 

[John Duncan]

It's their only album I like. Irrespective of production values, Brothers in Arms is awful.

(Reaches for the sick bucket)

The early cds had high DR around 18 which is about the same as the LPs. Many people suggest this album when asked about best recorded cds and its used by many dealers as demos.

Dire Straights and Yes - 'Owner of a lonely heart' were hot favs for the hi-fi dealers in the 80's from what I can remember.

Both truly bloody awful

Now I'm not having that. IMO (obv) 90125 is the best prog rock album (for some value of 'prog') ever.

Really, would not even get into my top 3 Yes albums, Prog rock was over by about 1978.

the best prog rock album.............RUSH - Moving Pictures

I consider that the best rock album.

Is Marillion prog rock ? If so Fugazi wins the prog-off.
