Dire Straits / LOVE OVER GOLD - original album on 180 gram vinyl. Dire Strait's fourth album finds the band continuing to evolve by welcoming increasingly bold arrangements and exploring moody variations. The five lengthy songs on Love Over Gold sprawl out like a long, winding road cutting through a pastoral landscape. The addition of a new rhythm guitarist, Hal Lindes, encourages deeper atmospheric interplay while the presence of engineer Neil Dorfsman - his first appearance in what would be a long string of collaborations with Mark Knopfler - ensures stunning sonic properties.
