DIRE STRAITS "making movies" cd/vinyl, 1980
Knopfler and Co's third album....
bit of a Springsteen connection with this one...Roy Bitten,pianist for the E-Street Band plays on here, and "born to run" engineer Jimmy Lovine also appeared...
this was apparently the only DS album not to feature a rhythm guitarist....
the first of the truly classic Dire Straits IMO, a hattrick happened with the next two(love over gold,brothers in arms)...
i find it impossible to pick a favourite track from this one...how the hell do you split 'skateaway','romeo and juliet' and 'tunnel of love'...i cant!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
tracks:
1. tunnel of love ***
2. romeo and juliet ***

5. hand in hand ***
6. solid rock **
7. les boys **
