5.0 out of 5 stars Money for Nothing - No Way, 7 Oct 2002
By stuart (Portsmouth, England) - See all my reviews
The title, taken for the song of the same name hardly does this album justice, this is money very well spent. Not only does it contain, in my opinion, some of the very best songs from a fantastic period of the band, but some writing that i can only qualify as that of a genious! It has the perfect balence between lyrics and instrumental sections, and is the only album to contain "Twisting by the Pool". To be honest there is not a single title on this album that i do not like considerably, from the very moving "Brothers in Arms" and "Romeo and Julliet" (my favourate), to the uplifting "Sultans of Swing". On reading this you may think im a Dire Straits fanatic, well, im not; im more of a Queen fan to be truthful, which is why i was so taken aback by this album. To sumerise, this is a must have in any collection, if not, your really are missing out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Money for Great Rock!, 27 Jan 2005
By Rich Milligan (Thatcham, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Whether or not you can be classed as a Dire Straits fan I would seriously doubt if there isn't a place for this superb recording in anyone's CD collection.

12 absolutely brilliant tracks covering the band's best output from 1978 to 1984 and whilst there isn't a weak track amongst them there are some outstanding songs on this collection. You have two eight minute plus rock sagas in "Tunnel of Love" and a superb live version of "Telegraph Road", high tempo rock and roll in "Twisting by the Pool", moody atmospheric songs like "Where do you think you're going" and "Private Investigations" and for those who like their more popular wide-appeal offerings there "Walk of Life" and "Money for Nothing"

My personal favourites are the bitter-sweet romantic "Romeo and Juliet" and the tragic "Brothers in Arms"

As I say this album really does show the band off in their pomp and I would recommend it for any fan of good honest rock music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 24 April 2004
By A Customer
This is the definitive DS collection. It is actually better than the'Sultans Of Swing' compilation even though there is none of their latermaterial on it.
'Sultans Of Swing', 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Tunnel of Love' in theiroriginal forms and not edited and the live remix of 'Telegraph Road' is asuperb offering from the otherwise over-rated ALCHEMY set. The only thingis that 'Money for Nothing' and 'Brothers In Arms' have been edited onthis. For this reason you'll want the 'Brothers In Arms' CD as well. Otherwise a perfect intro to Dire Straits.
