Dire Straits' 1979 album 'Communique'
I bought Dire Straits' first album when it came out in 1978 and loved the band.
Saw them live in about '79 and also in '82.
After Brothers in Arms came out, despite its huge success, Dire Straits became very 'uncool' in the UK.
I haven't listened to the band for a very long time, but recently revisited the first album and now this one.
I had forgotten just how good this one is.
The whole of what was 'side one' on vinyl, is brilliant:
'Once Upon a Time in the West'
'News'
'Where Do You Think You're Going?'
'Communiqué'
This is probably my favourite:
