When someone thinks of Dire Straits with a 21st century perspective, invariably the first thought that gets conjured up is of the period of 1985 when they released the seminal and defining album of their career, Brothers in Arms. Whilst this album holds the affection of the dedicated and casual fans alike, it was the previous album, the 1982 release of Love Over Gold that firmly sets the band on course for the superstardom that was to follow.
