MOFI Dire Straits 45RPM 2LP albums...finally shipping!

Just got shipping notification that the LONG AWAITED 45RPM Dire Straits LPs are on the way.

These were first available for pre-order on 12/2/2016, almost 3 years ago. I pre-ordered all of them on the first day.

Story I heard was that Mark Knopfler was being VERY picky about the reissues. They couldn’t get him to sign off on the test pressing(s), until they were perfect. Well, almost 3 years later they better be. Knowing Knopfler is kinda like Becker and Fagen when it comes to recorded perfection, my guess is they will be stunning.

Can’t wait to hear them...

Oh, they are already sold out on the Music Direct website, except for "Making Movies".

@millercarbon...what? AFAIK, these have never been released before by MOFI?

The only LP from Dire Straits that has ever been released by MOFI is "Brothers In Arms", which was a 45RPM, 2LP reissue.  Check Discogs if you don’t believe me. It was released in early 2015. My copy is excellent. Got pretty decent reviews too:

These are the 45RPM, 2LP reissues that just shipped.

What are you talking about?
