Free Music Notes for Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits
Free Music Review: What have they got against "Industrial Disease"?
Hit: 4 Stars
This "best of" compilation is better than Dire Straight's previous one, MONEY FOR NOTHING. The MONEY FOR NOTHING compilation did not include "Lady Writer" or "So Far Away", two of my favorites, and both tunes are included here.
But both SULTANS OF SWING: THE VERY BEST OF and MONEY FOR NOTHING do not include "Industrial Disease", which was one of their biggest hit singles. When I saw Dire Straights in concert at the Montreal Forum back in the mid-80s, they didn't include "Industrial Disease" in the set either. It makes me wonder what Mark Knopfler and the boys have against the song?

This compilation repeats seven tracks from 1988's Money For Nothing anthology. Given that Mark Knopfler and crew have recorded one new album during the decade between best-of collections, how different could Sultans of Swing be? For one thing, CD dominance has made for longer compilations, and this one is fleshed out by singles, three tracks from 1991's On Every Street, and Knopfler's solo "Local Hero" theme, performed live. More importantly, the second track here is the band's terrific second single, "Lady Writer," previously only available on the otherwise dismal Communiqu? LP. Five tracks from Dire Straits' huge Brothers in Arms LP appear here, but only two tracks surface from Making Movies, the group's pinnacle achievement. Ultimately, if you own Making Movies and this compilation, you own the essential Dire Straits. --Bill Holdship
