Chapter from Dire Straits History
In 1978, Dire Straits recorded their first album, Dire Straits (so called due to
the financial condition the members were living in at the time), at Basing
Street studios (now known as 'Sarm West') near Portobello Road in West London
for £12,500. During the initial U.K. release on Vertigo Records, a division of
Phonogram, the album had little promotion and was not well received. However,
the U.K. album came to the attention of Karin Berg, an assistant in the artists
and repertoire (A&R) department of Warner Bros. Records in New York City. She
felt it was the kind of music that audiences were hungry for, but only one
person in her department agreed at first. "Other people didn't hear it." "The
act was doing poorly in the U.K., and the record wasn't getting air play." After
the album was released in the U.S. by Warner Bros. it caught on quickly and sold
over 1 million copies. Later, when re-released as a single, "Sultans of Swing"
became a surprise UK chart hit, making the top 10. The first album eventually
went top ten in every European country.
The group's second album, Communiqué followed in 1979. Communiqué showed as
number one in the German album charts with Dire Straits simultaneously at number
3. Both albums are characterized by a stripped-down sound. However, this would
change, along with the band's line-up, over the years. Mark Knopfler and John
Illsley played together till the dissolution of Dire Straits, the only two
founding members to do so.
