Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set and hybrid SACD breathe with reference-caliber airiness, spaciousness, dynamics, and separation. Produced by JIMMY Iovine and Knopfler, the record—which contains many Springsteen-esque elements—features the cleanliness and clarity that have long been Dire Straits trademarks. You know you're in the presence of sonic greatness as soon as the first few seconds of the opening “Tunnel of Love” pass. The introductory passage, built on organ and piano, intertwines with the unmistakable coilspring twang of Knopfler's guitar. There's not a note out of place. JIMMY Iovine and Knopfler's standout production—in concert with meticulous remastering—puts it over the top.
