*** Gatefold Cover
Zum Zeitpunkt des Erscheinens ihres vierten Studioalbums »Love Over Gold« waren die Dire Straits aufgrund des zunehmenden Erfolgs längst nicht mehr in finanziellen Nöten. Ergänzt um den neuen Gitarristen Hal Lindes produzierte Mark Knopfler ein Album mit nur fünf Titeln, die dafür umso ambitionierter und mit ausufernden Sounds daherkommen. Mit dem 14-minütigen Eröffnungstitel »Telegraph Road« schafft Knopfler eine mitreißende Erfahrung, die auch über lange instrumentale Passagen zu tragen vermag.
Das Remastering für die Doppel-LP auf 180-g-Vinyl mit 45 RPM übernahm Krieg Wunderlich, assistiert von Shawn R. Britton. Die limitierte Auflage mit fortlaufender Seriennummer erscheint im Klappcover.
**************************************************************************************************
Dieser Meilenstein der Popgeschichte ist eine Bereicherung für jede Plattensammlung. Stücke wie „Telegraph Road“ oder „Private Investigations“ sind exzellente Arrangements aus der Feder Mark Knopflers, die hohen Chartsnotierungen waren die zwangsläufige Folge. Dieses Album war eines der ersten Alben einer schon international erfolgreichen Band, welches bereits digital produziert wurde und somit zum Durchbruch der Compact Disk (Kurzform CD) und beinahe zur Ablösung der Vinyl-Schallplatte beitrug.
Das Album wurde durch Krieg Wunderlich für Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab remastert und kommt auf zwei 180g-schweren, audiophilen 45UpM-Vinyl-Scheiben im Klappcover und mit fortlaufender Seriennummer in streng limitierter Auflage.

Rezension:
Mehr Atmosphäre war nie auf einem Dire Straits-Album. Der Opener "Telegraph Road" zeigt mit seinen über 14 Minuten deutlich in Richtung Prog Rock (freilich mit reichlich Folk- und Blues-Einflüssen), die übrigen vier Songs schlagen auch mit knapp sechs bis acht Minuten zu Buche. Daß die Band in den zwei Jahren seit "Making Movies" aber auch das Rocken nicht verlernt hatte, zeigte der auf den Punkt gespielte Titelsong; "Private Investigations" mit zarter spanischer Gitarre bewies das ungebrochene Hit-Potential (Platz zwei der britischen Pop-Charts). Überhaupt machten die Fans die Experimentierfreude der Straits gerne mit: Vier Wochen konnte "Love Over Gold" den ersten Platz der Album-Charts verteidigen. – Auch dieses Album strahlt nun auf spektakulären 45 Touren! (1982/2019)

180-gram 45 RPM double LP set pressed at RTI!
Reissue of Love Over Gold teems with superb balances, front-to-back soundstages
Dead-quiet surfaces and extra-wide grooves reveal obscured details
Love Over Gold is all about contrast, tension, and crafty composition. Dire Straits' fourth album finds the band continuing to evolve by welcoming increasingly bold arrangements and exploring moody variations. Parts edgy and sharp, and part seductive and relaxed, the five lengthy songs on Love Over Gold sprawl out like a long, winding road cutting through a pastoral landscape. The addition of a new rhythm guitarist, Hal Lindes, encourages deeper atmospheric interplay while the presence of engineer Neil Dorfsman — his first appearance in what would be a long string of collaborations with Mark Knopfler — ensures stunning sonic properties that now come to life like never before.
Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's 180-gram 45RPM 2LP version of Love Over Gold teems with superb balances, front-to-back soundstages, and crystalline purity. The dead-quiet surfaces and extra-wide grooves bring forward previously obscured details, extra information, and mastering-studio-quality transients. The distinctive textures of a host of instruments - marimbas, acoustic and electric guitars, vibes, synthesizers — further enhance the ambitiousness of the 1982 album.
On this audiophile pressing, everything Knopfler does seemingly turn to gold. Gearheads will hear the unique characteristics afforded by his use of a Mesa Boogie Mark II guitar amplifier (soon again employed on Brothers in Arms) and carefully chosen selection of Schecter Stratocasters, 1937 National steel guitar, and Ovation six- and twelve-string models. Reference-level separation and lifelike imaging place Knopfler and company in your room, while tube-like warmth, spaciousness, and airiness causes the music to breathe anew. This LP will be in your rotation for months.
It doesn't take long to realize Love Over Gold is like no other Dire Straits album — and a staunch proclamation of independence from a band that continued to take longer creative strides with each successive project. Fearlessly extending over metaphoric hills, valleys, and plains for nearly 14-and-a-half minutes, the opening "Telegraph Road" is a guitar hero's dream and exhilarating showcase for Lindes' give-and-take capabilities. In tandem with keyboardist Alan Clark, Lindes provides the ideal foil for not only Knopfler but the long-time rhythm section of bassist John Illsley and drummer Pick Withers.
Taking its time to arrive at destinations, the quintet paints evocative musical and lyrical portraits steeped in patience, drama, and, often times, sadness. Desolate emotions color the sweeping "Telegraph Road" and barren "Private Investigations," which finds Knopfler in the role of a tired private eye contemplating the emptiness and scars of his profession. Vocally, the Dire Straits leader remains in top form throughout, his whiskey-coated rasp conveying romantic ache, ongoing frustration, and what Rolling Stone beautifully deemed "wracking schizophrenia between the heart and the heartless, the loving and the pain."
Called Dire Straits' prog-rock statement, Love Over Gold is a classic that defies labeling and avoids aging.
