The self-titled debut album from Dire Straits introduced Mark Knopfler's distinctive guitar style and songwriting to the world.

Pressing Notes
Original 1978 UK pressing on Vertigo Records, catalogue 9102 021, featuring the highly sought-after original Vertigo "spaceship" labels. The first UK edition was issued with the original matte picture sleeve and illustrated lyric inner sleeve.
The original album was released in October 1978 and reached No.5 in the UK Albums Chart. Later UK reissues used a different orange/yellow Vertigo label design, making the spaceship labels an important identifier of the original pressing period.
