    For my money, Dire Straits début album was the best thing they ever did, followed by Communiqué. And for me this track was an example of why they shook the music scene at the time. Nobody else sounded like they did. This sounds as sublime to me these days as it did all those years ago. Maybe it's that steel guitar that Mark Knopfler loves so much. Wild West End:

    No argument from me with any of that, and what a stonking opening track to that album this was:

    I used to go the the WI club with a Carribean mate from work and usually on to a local illicit shebeen at a local house after...:emoticon-0176-smoke<double>
    Another friend entered the house and turned the light on much to the anger of everybody already inside...<laugh>

    Another song from that classic political Reggae album...

    "To this day it reminds me of a story I heard about a riot preventative measure that was considered and experimented with. It involved producing low bass notes at quite high volume, but were barely heard. Those people who were in the firing line immediately needed to relieve themselves or were sick. Does anyone know about that or did I simply imagine that story?"
    ..

    Never heard that story TSS but Kate Bush did suggest something more drastic in her excellent Experiment IV song...

    Bought this immediately after hearing “Sultans of Swing” was just totally blown away. Still one of my favourite albums! Thanks for posting!

    Just read that we're interested in signing Rob Dickie from Oxford, maybe he can be our own Gigantor in the centre of defence...
