On a good hi-fi system, Brothers In Arms should sound exceptionally spacious and controlled: Mark Knopfler’s guitar positioned with natural precision, vocals clearly focused, bass with clean extension and percussion presented with strong definition. The 45 RPM half-speed mastered format makes this edition particularly attractive for listeners who value sound quality and careful analogue presentation.
