Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits by Dire Straits (CD, Nov-1998, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

Very good band.Excellent guitar riffs.I really enjoyed the money for nothing song which has very good electric guitar sounds.Top album with easy listening melodies not to different to the eagles.

This is a good snapshot of Dire Staits,but probably should have been expanded to include two discs as it omits many of their great songs.This was the second attempt at a Dire Straits collection.The first,titled "Money For Nothing," was just as skimpy.The third and most recent collection unfortunately includes solo material from Mark Knopfler.If you're a casual fan and are only familiar with Dire Straits from a couple of their songs,then this collection is okay,but I really recommend owning all of their albums for all of the great songs not included on any of their best-ofs.

As any audiophile, I liked to buy this compilation. There is the spirit of Dire Straits at their best. A really must

~ What could be better than the 'best' of one of the finest and most-talented bands in music history? If you're even remotely interested in DIRE STRAITS, and you should be Very interested, this package is an absolute must-have! Simply a superb collection of superb music. ~

great price and great tunes.excellent seller. good communication and fast shipping. Seller is a pro.

A must have for a rock fan, especially a fan of Dire Straits! An excellent collection of the very best of Dire Straits!

cant tell how good it is because i never recieved it...still waiting 1.5 months later........tried to communicate with seller thinking it may be an oversight on their part ...but no communication...

WHY BUY AN OLD RECORDING? BECAUSE THE PERFORMERS ARE AT THE TOP OF THEIR ABILITIES AND FROM HERE ON OUT THEY DEVELOP COMPLEX, COMPELLING STORIES AND RHYTHMS THAT CONNECT ON AN INTIMATE LEVEL WITH THE LISTENER. HOW CAN RAP COMPETE WITH THIS LEVEL OF TALENTED MUSICIANS?

I decided to buy this CD for one song on it and it turned out to be a condensed version of the song and it did not say that in the description on e-bay.bummer and I payed a lot for the CD

I like Dire Straits. The cd could of had more hits from older cds, but in all it is a good cd.The price was right for a new cd on line too.

I own a few CD's of Mark Knopfler but didn't think my collection was complete without the classic "Sultans of Swing". It's full of great favorites.

i wanted all the classics on one cd, and this does it... includes some less-known hits as well... great cd :)

like the group and i love the price of the album from e-bay. garage sale on the net; without the running around.

I decided to purchase this Cd to complete my son's Cd collection that was stolen. He throughly enjoys older music.
