Remastered from the original analogue and digital masters by Bernie Grundman and Bob Ludwig, lacquers cut by Chris Bellman and Bernie Grundman.

A strain of deep ennui pervades this, the sixth (and, to date, final) studio album from one of the most wildly successful bands of the 1980s. This time, though, it's the sound of an older songwriter: from the R&B of "Calling Elvis", to the modest countrified picking of "How Long", Mark Knopfler seems to have left his rock inclinations far behind--allowing himself only a token indulgence on tracks such as "Heavy Fuel". Yet his guitar work remains evocative; and the best track here--the sexually-belligerent, richly atmospheric "You And Your Friend"--recalls the dark view of human relations (and the splendid dobro lead work) he featured on "Private Investigations".
