Dire Straits Love Over Gold - 1982 US first pressing. This is so good that I don't think I need Mofi

Picked this up for $15.00. Although this isn't as quiet as a Mofi pressing, I'm not so sure that I need to get the 45RPM version. Come join me for a discussion of this magnificent 4th Studio album by Dire Straits. What a listen!!

It Never Rains is one of my favorite DS songs. The whole album is outstanding. Picked up a brand new copy this past spring for $18.99 and like you my gateway in them was Brothers. In Arms. And I’m Gen X too. So much great music we had in the late 70’s and 80’s

Been a fan of DS since the first LP. I purchased the Warner pressing of Love Over Gold when it was released (early 80s). I was immediately blown away by the mastering. The dynamic range on this pressing is phenomenal (even on my modest turntable setup at the time.) I have encountered few pressings that reproduced such a full sound (Paul McCartney and Wings, Back to the Egg was another great sounding pressing around that same timeframe).

Thanks for the comment Robert! I'm still amazed by this albums soundstage and imaging. Back to the Egg is on my list to get this year. I recently bought the 1/2 speed master of Macca's debut solo album and I have to say, its really, really good. I hope to have a review of that after I move. Thanks for watching!

When my parents bought the then new Very Best Of Dire Straits compilation by the end of the 90s, 15 year old me was immediately hooked. Of course there were the big hits, but the live version of Love Over Gold somehow connected with me. So I decided my first album of my new favourite band would be LoG, even though it only had 5 tracks on it. Best decision.
