This compilation repeats seven tracks from the 1988 Money For Nothing anthology. Considering that Mark Knopfler and his band released a new album in the decade between the best-of collections, how different could Sultans of Swing be?
First, the ubiquitous CD format has made longer compilations possible, and this one is built with singles, three tracks from 1991's On Every Street and Knopfler's solo "Local Hero" theme sung live. More importantly, the second track is that band's fantastic second single, "Lady Writer," previously heard only on the otherwise terrible LP Communiqué. Five tracks from Dire Straits' massive Brothers in Arms appear here, but only two surface from Making Movies, that group's pinnacle effort. In conclusion, if you own Making Movies and this compilation, you have everything you need from Dire Straits. --Bill Holdship
