Money For Nothing (Warners) by Dire Straits (CD, Oct-1988, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

IT WAS OFFERED AT A GOOD PRICE. I ENJOY THE MUSIC FROM THIS ERA. I RECOMMEND
THIS EBAYER. HONEST AND FAST DEAL.

I ordered a cd that was advertised as new. When it arrived it was NOT shrink-wrapped, and the disc had light smudges on it. It played well enough so I didn't send it back, but I was still disappointed.

Only 3 good songs I like on the album. Money for nothing is awesome. Walk of Life is ok. Sutains of Swan is good.

Released six long years after Brothers In Arms, On Every Street was a commercial disappointment by comparison, which wasn’t all that surprising considering that the massive success of Brothers In Arms was something of a fluke in the first place. On Every Street was a little like Brothers In Arms in that it was another low-key effort that too often delivers mere background music,

The first greatest hits album from Dire Straits is a much better compilation than the one that followed it ('Sultans of Swing - The Very Best of Dire Straits').
12 songs, all the band's best known tracks, 'Sultans of Swing', 'Romeo & Juliet', 'Tunnel Of Love', 'Private Investigations' and most of the hits from the Brothers In Arms album. A few rarer tracks on here too, including a live version of 'Portobello Belle' and 'Twisting By the Pool' which was not available on album if you never got hold of a copy of the band's 1983 EP. And a live version of the epic 'Telegraph Road' is also included, if not on the LP at least on the CD.
The only real downside to this 'best of' is that 'Money For Nothing' and 'Brothers In Arms' are both edited, unlike the above mentioned tracks, and a remixed version of 'Where Do You Think You're Going?' doesn't sit very comfortably with the other better known tracks. That apart, this is a great CD overall.
This compiliation appeared before Dire Straits' last studio album 'On Every Street' was released, but as that album didn't produce major hits (and was probably their weakest) that doesn't detract greatly.
There are many other Dire Straits songs that are worthy of inclusion on a 'best of' set, but this is a great starting point for the casual fan or for those of you who are not already familiar with the band's back catalogue.

Mark Knopfler is in a class all by himself. His songwriting is superb and his guitar playing is unique and musical at all times. This album, which is performed by Mark along with his band, Dire Straits is conclusive proof that melodic songs and tasteful solos will never die...

Great late 80's albunm. Money For Nothing & Walk of Life are classics, hence the purchase. Extremely under-rated band.

I wanted it. I really, really like the music. I like Mark Knopler. I like Dire Straits who is basicly Mark Knopler. The king of swing. Our Brother in arms

The shipment was recieved in a timely manner in good condition. I purchased it because I wanted it.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits are probably best know for Money for Nothing (I want my MTV) and The Walk of Life. Both are on this CD, but they are the worst cuts. My favorite is Portobello Belle which features sublime guitar in a nice story song about a woman in a market in London. I also like Telegraph Road, Romeo and Juliet as well as The Sultans of Swing...

I wanted a specific song off the cd. I bought it for that reason. The cd was a little dirty but it played through.

I bought this cd because I simply had worn out my first copy. This compilation of Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits music--to the date of publication--represents one of the best--if not the best--contemporary guitar gods. I hesitate to say "rock" because his talent extends to many genres and many instruments. His tunes and lyrics are exceptional. He is a master storyteller who sets his tales to guitar and back up that puts the listener in another world with the music. He is the master.

I used to ski in Park City, UT to this CD with my boyfriend at the time. Tunnel of Love is GREAT for black diamonds!
