Description

Working as a teacher in the Loughton College of London, and, also, writing some rock articles in the Yorkshire Evening Post,
a young amateur guitarist, named Mark Knopfler, decides to put together 120 pounds and record a demo tape with a group of friends.
One of them, John Illsley, gives this tape to a well known talent scout, Charlie Gillet, who was making a radio show called 'Honky Tonk'.
A song called Sultans of Swing is introduced. The rest is history...
By the mid '80s Dire Straits were a platinum band, offering craggy vocals, literate blues-based songs, and sinuous, virtuosic guitar work.
The album's opening track, 'Down to the Waterline', marks a confident and musically assured start to the album with it's striking introduction,
and the album, on release, was also noted for the single 'Sultans of Swing', which at first broke a US Top Five early 1979 (being a hit full five
months after the album was released there) and then raised up at #8 in the British charts. In Europe, the album sold four million copies and
in the U.S. it sold two million copies.
