After Dire Straits' Communique Tour ended on 21 December
1979 in London, Mark Knopfler spent the first half of 1980 writing the
songs for the band's next album. He contacted Jimmy Iovine after hearing
Iovine's production on the song "Because the Night" by Patti Smith, a
song written by Smith and Bruce Springsteen. Iovine had also worked on
Springsteen's Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town albums, and
was instrumental in recruiting E-Street Band keyboardist Roy Bittan for
the Making Movies sessions.
Making Movies was recorded at the Power
Station in New York from 20 June to 25 August 1980. Jimmy Iovine and
Mark Knopfler produced the album.
David Knopfler left Dire Straits in
August 1980 during the recording of the album, following heated
arguments with his brother and almost immediately after the recording of
a BBC2 Arena documentary about the group featuring several individual
interviews with the band members. His guitar tracks were almost complete
for the album, but were re-recorded by Mark. David appears on video
playing "Solid Rock" and "Les Boys" live in concert, but these
performances preceded the recording. The album sessions continued with
Sid McGinnis on rhythm guitar, although he was uncredited. Dire Straits
expanded into a quintet when keyboard player Alan Clark and Californian
guitarist Hal Lindes were recruited as full-time group members shortly
after the album's release in October 1980.
Four songs were recorded
during the sessions but not released on the album: "Making Movies,"
"Suicide Towers," "Twisting by the Pool" and "Sucker for Punishment."
"Twisting by the Pool" was released on the ExtendedancEPlay EP on 10
January 1983 and reached the UK Top 20 when released as a single. The
title of the album is taken from a line in the song "Skateaway" and from
the outtake "Making Movies."
