Money for Nothing is a greatest hits album by British rock band Dire Straits released on 17 October 1988, featuring highlights from the band's first five albums.
Fully remastered in 2022 by Bob Ludwig, and cut by Bernie Grundman, the Money For Nothing double vinyl reissue includes “Telegraph Road (Live Remix)” which was previously only available on the original CD format, and a previously unreleased alternative live version of “Portobello Belle (Live)”.
Mark Knopfler is one of the most successful musicians the UK has ever produced and is often cited as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Dire Straits’ sound defined the late 70s/early 80s with monster global hits such as “Sultans Of Swing”, “Romeo And Juliet”, “Money For Nothing” and “Walk Of Life”, all of which are all included on this release. Dire Straits’ 1985 album Brothers In Arms, a global No 1 and double Grammy Award winner, is one of the best selling albums of all time. After releasing their final album On Every Street in ’91, Knopfler set off on a new path as a solo artist.
