would like to draw attention to the year of CD release - 1984. The
sound has not yet been spoiled by all sorts of remastering and other
digital nonsense.

After the
Dire Straits Tour finished in Hitchin on 18 November 1978, Dire Straits
set to work on recording their second album. The recording sessions for
Communique took place from 28 November to 12 December 1978 at Compass
Point Studios in Nassau. The album was mixed in January 1979 at Muscle
Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. The album was produced by Jerry Wexler
and Barry Beckett, veteran producers from Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
Beckett (credited as B. Bear) also contributed keyboards to some of the
album's nine tracks.
In a 1979 review for the Birmingham Daily Post,
Jonathan Daumler-Ford called it a "competent record", but wrote that
"the songs sound like pale imitations, or the cuts which were not good
enough for Dire Straits". Record World said of "Once Upon a Time in the
West" that Knopfler's "unique and super-sensitive vocals evoke vivid
imagery that's totally enhanced by the Wexler-Beckett production team."
The Tucson Citizen called the album "an appealing production," writing
that "a combination of country and reggae can be substantial."
In his
retrospective review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann wrote that the
second album "seemed little more than a carbon copy of its predecessor
with less compelling material."
