Dire Straits – Making Movies Mobile Fidelity 45RPM 2LP

Making Movies is the third studio album by Dire Straits, originally released in 1980 and often regarded as a turning point in the band’s catalogue.

The album expands Dire Straits’ sound beyond the leaner style of the first two records, adding more cinematic arrangements, emotional songwriting and a stronger narrative character. Tracks such as Tunnel Of Love, Romeo And Juliet, Skateaway, Expresso Love and Solid Rock show the band at one of its most expressive and musically complete moments.

This Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab numbered 45RPM 2LP edition is pressed on 180 g vinyl and sourced from analogue tapes. Mobile Fidelity specifies the mastering chain as Record One: 1/4″ / 30 IPS analogue copy to DSD 256 to analogue console to lathe, and Record Two: 1/4″ / 30 IPS analogue master to DSD 256 to analogue console to lathe. The 45RPM format gives the music more groove space and helps present the album with greater openness, separation, dynamics and low-level detail.
