There are hit records
And then there are blockbusters
One of the world’s best-selling records, a winner of two Grammy Awards, an era-defining reference statement, an MTV favorite, and a set that catapulted an already-acclaimed band to arena status, Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms is the kind of epic spectacular that comes around only once or twice a decade
Surpassed only in fame and visibility during the period by Michael Jackson’s Thriller, the 1985 album remains idiosyncratic for its covetable combination of adventurous songwriting, precision-based performances, and reference-caliber fidelity
Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed on 45RPM LPs at RTI, and possessing a richness befitting the album’s stellar reputation, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set of Brothers In Arms breathes with transparent highs, atmospheric heft, and lifelike tonalities
This is the hand-down ultimate-sounding version of this audiophile favorite ever made
