Driven by the cinematic songwriting and superb guitar playing of Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits is one of rock's most successful bands. This new 20-bit remastered anthology takes in everything from the title track (the band's 1st hit, from their 1978 debut LP) through such classics as "Romeo And Juliet" and "Money for Nothing," plus the band's epic live rendition of "Love Over Gold" and "Wild Theme - Theme from Local Hero," from Knopfler's acclaimed movie score.

Reviews:

''Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits'', named after their 1978 hit single, is the second hits compilation of Dire Straits. It was originally released as both a one disc edition and two disc edition in August 1998. The second disc contains live performances.

The compilation was re-released together with a DVD in 2002. The DVD features the music videos of all the songs on the first disc, in addition to short interviews with Mark Knopfler about each song. - Wikipedia
