Dire Straits - Making Movies [Audio CD]

Experience the critically acclaimed 1996 remastered edition of Dire Straits' Making Movies. This Pop Rock classic stands out as the only album by the band that omits a rhythm guitarist, instead featuring the distinctive piano work of Roy Bittan, known for his collaborations with Bruce Springsteen. This CD captures the band shortly after recording with Bob Dylan, marking the final album for drummer Pick Withers before his departure to pursue a career in jazz.

• Original recording remastered for enhanced audio quality.
• Features the hit single "Romeo and Juliet" and the outstanding track "Hand In Hand."
• Includes piano contributions from Roy Bittan (Bruce Springsteen's pianist).
• Language: English.
• Country of Origin: Germany.

Making Movies explores themes centered around city romance, evident in tracks like "Skateaway" and the celebrated tale of passion in "Tunnel Of Love." The production carries connections to the Springsteen camp, as producer Jimmy Iovine engineered Springsteen's Born To Run, and the riff in "Romeo And Juliet" is derived from the piano intro to "Jungleland."
