Dire Straits compilation is quite a masterpiece of their work, starting from their early times to the most recent album; Great for those who have not followed DS through the time and good to have for those who have. May 22, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteOne of the greatest of Greatest Hits Quote
This band was first seen by me in my hometown of Canberra Australia when they did their Australian tour in the 1990's, and I was blown away by the music

But what makes this the greatest of Greatest Hits CD's is that you have a double CD and you get both the Dire Straits and Mark Knofler's solo work. The best of both worlds. It's also good value for money as a 2 CD set.

I tried other Dire Staights compilations, and was never happy with them until I found this one. Right off the bat the first disc draws you in with the great "Telegraph Road", and all 14 minutes of it. It then spreads out across the Dire Straights discography. But one thing I would recommend, is to pick up the Imported version, as it will contain an additional track or two from the US version, most notably one of my favorites from the "Making Movies" album, "Skateway". All tracks are the full cut studio version, and not the stripped down or live versions, such as "Money For Nothing".

True, the second disc is made up of mostly Mark Knopfler solo tracks, but so what? They are all great tracks and fit in well with this project.

I would recommend. January 21, 2008

Putting together a greatest hits album of an old group and a solo career is not the easiest but this pulled off exceedingly well. One of those sets that stays in the CD player forever. October 20, 2007
