Review: On Every Street was the final album recorded by Dire Straits in 1991 before they finally disbanded. It had already been more than six years since their landmark Brothers In Arms, but Mark Knopfler and co. had one more salvo of songs to gift to the world. It's a sentimental record in that Dire Straits way, not least on the title track, but there's also some mesmerising grooves to lose yourself in such as in the extended run of 'Calling Elvis'. This reissue comes courtesy of Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, who have pressed the album up on double vinyl mastered from the original sources and sounding frankly immaculate - an edition for the audiophiles to nod approvingly to.

Review: Dire Straits bowed out in style when they released On Every Street in 1991. They'd taken their time since the knockout success of Brothers In Arms, waiting six years to deliver a follow-up which would satisfy fans of their inimitable sound. Mark Knopfler's dusky tones weave many a tale, and there's that pervading sentimental mood hanging over the record like a Dire Straits album should have, but there's also some of those Southern boogie rhythm sections to lock onto, not least on the drawn out splendour of 'Calling Elvis'. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab are going all-out on the reissue treatment for this edition, presented in a gatefold sleeve on Super Audio CD.
