Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Geoff –
‘Brothers In Arms’ remains a classic legacy to an extraordinary band who have a special place in many people’s hearts and memories. From the riveting “One World” through to the somber brilliance of the closing title track, the fifth Dire Straits studio album has so much on offer. While there are clear-cut commercial numbers (such as the upbeat “Walk Of Life” and cruiser “So Far Away”), nestled amongst them are melancholy blues and fine folk numbers. “The Man’s Too Strong” and “Ride Across The River” are classic pieces that have stood the test of time even better than the obvious favourites. With it’s remarkably catchy rock guitar riff (and guest vocals from Sting), the track “Money For Nothing” was immediately, and constantly played by Top 40 radio. With such slick production, ‘Brothers in Arms’ was also an essential purchase for audiophiles and with saturation exposure on the new MTV channel, sales went through the roof! The music of Dire Straits was fully embraced by the New Zealand public — so many of their albums sold here that there was enough for one in every household. When they played here in 1986, as a part of their world tour, they performed to a tenth of the population — the largest capacity tour in NZ history! Mark Knopfler continues to have a successful solo career, although on a considerably lesser scale, compared to the phenomenal popularity of Dire Straits. ‘Brothers In Arms’ remains a classic legacy to an extraordinary band who have a special place in many people’s hearts and memories.
