Format:Audio CD
At last - a collection of the very best Dire Straits songs combined with Mark Knopfler's solo efforts. And a double CD is available of this as well which is a bonus. Whereas the previous greatest hits compilation 'Sultans of Swing' was somewhat disappointing - too many good songs were edited and a couple of disappointing live renditions of songs were included instead of the superior studio versions (check out 'Love Over Gold' and you will know what I mean, its available on this collection in its original 6min studio version with the brilliant solo at the end). Every track is superb on this CD, and full length versions of all songs are available here. The double version is probably a better buy but the single disc is good enough. A must for any serious collection.

Access to all dire staits and Mark Knopflers hits in one easy package. If that's what you like than this is for you.

Brought this cd so to up-date my ageing record collection, having brought all the Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler albums over the years. this has saved me a lot of money, all the best bits on two discs. Having stopped playing them since I got them, brings back many happy memories.

Private Investigations (The best of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler)
A very good compilation with great guitar solos by Mark Knopfler. It is the best CD of Dire Straits that I have heard.

Careful Which Version You Buy
This version of Private Investigations (the 2-disc set) is excellent. It is a "Best of" album with a good choice of high quality studio recordings of popular tracks. Read more

Very Good
Had most of these on LP so had been thinking for sometime to get the tracks on CD. I do believe this album may have been re-released as one I saw didn't have the extended version... Read more
