Love over Gold 40 years today
« on: September 24, 2022, 12:24:00 PM »
some sources says the 20th september, other sources says the 24th
I bet it was the 24th because it was a friday, the day for musical releases

A very important album for me. First I saw the cover of the album and then it all began.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

It is worth remembering one more song from this period. The Way It Always Starts.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Memories aren't reliable, but I remember new releases coming out on a Monday back in the day, then the charts were announced on a Sunday...

A review made with depth and mastery for a work of art that deserves to be recognized at the height of what it represents within the music of the 20th century.

This album fascinated me from the first time I saw the cover, it started hooking me right there, this was at the end of the last century, I didn't arrive late, because this work is timeless, and as impactful as in the days of its release.

Thank you JF.

Telegraph Road 40 years old and still amazing. This song will forever stand out.
My favorite Dire Straits song. I can't imagine a life without their music.
This is all the heaven we've got right here where we are in our shangri-la.

The first time I heard this album was when I was first getting into DS and my Gran borrowed the LP from the Library as a surprise for me.  When I went to visit on it went for a spin and it wasn't long before the CD was bought!  I couldn't believe it when I looked at the sleeve and saw the length of the tracks and that there was only two on side one!

Only just recalled my first listen just now.  The album has a special place for me now.

I consider this album to be the pinnacle of the Dire Straits discography, it has always been my favourite from the first time I listened to it. I love all five songs individually but the album as a whole is cohesive with a strong flow, which I think is also important.

Telegraph Road is the jewel in the crown and one of my absolute favourite songs of all time. A musical masterpiece, but also thoroughly listenable, which is not always the case for 'epic' tracks.

It's absolutely magic.
