DIRE STRAITS / LOVE OVER GOLD (ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING)

Dire Straits – Love Over Gold (Mobile Fidelity 180g 45RPM 2LP Vinyl Set)

A masterclass in tension, texture, and musical storytelling, Love Over Gold (1982) finds Dire Straits expanding their sonic horizons with five sweeping, meticulously crafted tracks. From the cinematic sprawl of “Telegraph Road” to the noir elegance of “Private Investigations,” Mark Knopfler’s poetic songwriting and fluid guitar work anchor an album of beauty, restraint, and atmosphere.

Sourced from the original analog master tapes, Plangent Processed, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set delivers unsurpassed spaciousness, imaging, and transparency. The wide grooves and dead-quiet vinyl illuminate every detail — from shimmering marimbas and acoustic flourishes to Knopfler’s Schecter Stratocaster tones and his trademark fingerpicked nuance.

Richly dynamic and sonically expansive, this definitive audiophile reissue captures Love Over Gold as a living, breathing performance — an enduring statement of ambition, artistry, and musical precision.
