Dire Straits, Communiqué, 1979 on Warner Bros

Sophomore album by Dire Straits, released in 1979 by Warner Bros. (in the US). This was the last album before David Knopfler left, and went to number 11 on the US charts.

I just love Mark Knopfler’s guitar playing and compositions – these albums are all fantastic. Look how young they all are!

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5—is an RCA record club edition (note the R-143749 on the label and the black text added on the rear cover) pressed at Specialty. The price sticker damage on the cover is from a previous owner. Use a heat gun people!
