Description

Few groups can claim to be synonymous with a lifestyle, but Dire Straits are an exception, whether they like it or not. Brothers In Arms, released in 1985, established them as the first real darlings of the compact disc 20-something generation that grew out of the boom years of the 80s. Their accessible, traditional blues-based music made them perfect for the massive, mature, relatively wealthy strata of the public that likes its music tightly performed and readily digestible. The album was #1 in the US charts for nine weeks and spent three years in the UK chart. Brothers In Arms has clocked up over 20 million sales to date worldwide and achieved #1 status in a staggering 22 countries including Australia. It still remains one of the biggest selling albums of all time.

To commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the release of the 13 times platinum selling Brothers In Arms album, Universal Music will be releasing a special Hybrid Super Audio 5.1 surround sound CD version of this classic album.

Please note: Hybrid SACD playable on both SACD and standard CD players.
