The performances on Dire Straits' Communiqué are so smooth and effortless, they were originally criticized for replicating the blueprints of the band's breakout debut
Time, however, has a way of changing perspectives and exposing the truth
More than 35 years after its original release in June 1979, Communiqué rightfully takes its place as the group's most underrated record - a nine-track set spiked with engaging storytelling, relaxed vibes, and deceiving simplicity
RECORDING November 28 - December 12 1978 at Compass Point Studios Nassau, Bahamas
