The remasters are great sounding. I haven't decided which I like better, the SBM remasters, or the HDCD Sultans of swing. I bought a Russian import of On Every Street on the Vertigo label that is the best I've heard yet. It says HDCD on the disc and cover, but my player doesn't recognize it as being encoded.It was mastered by Bob Ludwig though. I'm not sure what the whole stroy is on that.
dire straits -what to buy
i'm trying to decide what "version" of dire straits cds/albums to purchase. any recommendations as far as which album and what cd version to buy? i see that there are newly remastered versions of the different albums at Tower Records. should i simply purchase the "best of" (i.e. "Sultans of Swing" HDCD) that's out on CD. i actually would prefer vinyl but don't see any availability. thanks for your suggestions.
