Private Investigations: Best of

Very enjoyable listening. The engineer did a great job of mixing. He or she made sure that the listener can hear EVERYTHING! And that is a plus when listening to this outstanding assembly of talented musicians. I have upgraded my stereo's analog capabilities by getting an Audio Technica AT-LP-120 turntable (good choice) and the Micca MB42X speakers (another good choice); I had forgotten and neglected my vinyl collection. I sort of used this order as a test to see if an album could get through the shipping and delivery process undamaged. It did; however, I didn't request that the record be put in amazon packaging and it arrived with the labels stuck on the factory cellophane that it was wrapped in, but It came off with the wrapping and the album cover is perfect. It was a two record set, so that added some protection. I may request the additional packaging for my next 30+ dollar or so vinyl order. I am considering Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon?"

I am impressed with this album, I enjoy listening to it. The vinyls are great quality, sturdy, not warped nor scratched. The record mastering is also high quality. I like the SOUND QUALITY which is crispy and bright on my HiFi setup - Mark Knopfler at his best: Marantz TT15S turntable, Marantz AV7706 pre-amplifier, Marantz amplifier, Yamaha equalizer, Klipsch Legend loudspeakers (200 Watt per channel). I recommend a buy 👍.

Great album in great condition. Fast shipping and well packaged.

I really hate when music is edited. Money for nothing is the edited version. That was a disappoinment

Great Albums (Vinyl) Love just about every song. Kind of shocked that Skate away is missing? I recall others mentioned in other reviews but that was one I thought would be on there for sure. But the sound quality is fantastic. I think a good addition to any collection.

Heavy vinyl of excellent quality, the music doesn’t need any defense. I got DS album but this is a nice addition due to quality of this pressing

Excellent recording.

My favourite best of !

Dobra muza.

​"Private Investigations: The Best of. Rimasterizzazione meravigliosa. Il CD è registrato magnificamente, con bassi potenti, controllati e puliti, e medio-alti cristallini. Ottima la spazialità. Un CD da avere a tutti i costi per chi ama questo gruppo. ​Formato: CD / Doppio CD (versioni differenti sul mercato). ​Contenuto: Raccolta dei successi dei Dire Straits e Mark Knopfler. ​Caratteristiche audio rilevate: Dinamica focalizzata sulla pulizia delle frequenze e sulla ricostruzione della scena sonora. ​La traccia della versione singolo CD: contiene alcuni brani in versioni sfumate (fade-out) per far risiedere i brani in un unico supporto. ​La traccia della versione doppio CD: Mantiene le lunghezze originali dei master d'archivio, preservando le code strumentali e le transizioni dinamiche complete. ​Unico dettaglio da segnalare è la presenza, in alcuni brani, di un leggero rumore di fondo, un elemento ereditato direttamente dai master originali dell'epoca. È una scelta tecnica fondamentale: se si fosse intervenuti per eliminare del tutto questo fruscio, si sarebbe ottenuto un inevitabile ridimensionamento della qualità complessiva della registrazione. La rimozione forzata tramite filtri digitali, infatti, avrebbe tagliato via le sfumature e le micro-informazioni ambientali, penalizzando la dinamica e la naturalezza dello spettro sonoro. Preservare questo respiro originale si rivela quindi la scelta migliore per garantire la massima fedeltà d'ascolto.

excellent quality quick delivery

Awesome compilation of hits. Dire Straits and Mark K are Wow.
