Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released following the massive global impact of 'Brothers in Arms', this retrospective outlines Mark Knopfler's distinctive fingerpicked guitar work across the British group's first decade. The compilation successfully packages their laid-back, cinematic pub rock roots alongside their slicker stadium-era hits.
