Albums ok but not remastered as advertised. No mention anyware on album cover or box. I was a bit disappointed as i already had some of the original albums.

Exactly what it proclaims but devoid of any new features other than a slightly altered mastering.

As a long time fan of a band the same age as I am, I've owned the complete Dire Straits collection on Cassette tape, Vinyl and twice on CD. As I'm, surprise, surprise after the collection again(how many times does it take me to learn that lending album collections is never a good idea, people have trouble giving great music back.) So it was with much joy that I was ever so pleased to hear of this much needed box set.
But alas, here's the dilemma I've got. Firstly I looked at the vinyl release as I'd love the complete Dire Straits collection on Vinyl buy oh hell, look at that price. Also it looks like the download is CD quality only?? Why not a hi-res from studio master tapes releaase???? Am I getting a digital remastering? If so, what's the point of the vinyls???
Then the CD collection, identical to the Vinyl edition but minus the download with a major problem for a box set.
WHERE ARE THE RARE TRACKS and BONUS tracks to make this an absolute no brainer must have for long time fans???? Absolutely no where to be found.
Where's the extra bits of Dire Straits all us fans now and love?? Why not include an extra disc with all those hard to find B-sides and rare tracks????? Also for that matter, where's 'TWISTING BY THE POOL?' For crying out loud, what a let down. I want 'East Bound Train.', I want 'Kingdom Come.' etc etc.
Seriously, it's nice to have the albums given an upgrade over the previous releases but honestly, there's nothing here for the hard core fan to really get excited about except for having a nice new vinyl collection at last and put your originals into collector storage.
Most annoyed, hoping a rarities disc might be released one day and if it is please let me know fellow fans.
In a word, BORING and only 2 stars as there's nothing to WOW about in this box set at all.

Good box set of the six early albums from Dire Straits; CDs sound good
Reviewed in Canada on 16 February 2021Verified Purchase
This box of six CDs is reasonably priced and a good way to get some of the early albums (most people have Brothers in Arms, but not much else). I can't comment on the LP version of this package (yet) but the reviews for the vinyl release have not been great; the CD release, on the other hand, seems fine to me. I have all these albums on original release vinyl (I was a fan from the first album), and a couple of them on CD, but I wanted to complete the CD set.
The audio has not been remastered (at least I hear no difference in the tracks from the first CD releases) but the studio engineering is still quite good. Some of these tracks would have benefited from a redo, but so be it. The CDs all worked fine, and sound better than I remembered (it's been many years since I listened to the early tracks). The presentation on this box is minimal: you get the CDs in cardboard sleeves and nothing else. Still, as a way to get early Straits albums, this is a good box to pick up (CD only; I reserve comments on the LPs until I give them a try!).

A qualidade gráfica poderia ser melhor
Reviewed in Brazil on 7 January 2021Verified Purchase
Ainda não escutei para falar da qualidade do vinil, mas o material gráfico não está a altura do preço.
"Brother in arms" e "On every street" são discos duplos e possum capas simples. Tenho uma cópia do "Brothers in Arms" 180 g que possui capa dupla e material gráfico muito melhor.

Produto é ótimo. Entrega péssima.
Reviewed in Brazil on 7 March 2022Verified Purchase
Em relação ao produto em si não tenho reclamações. Dire Straits é uma banda sensacional com uma discografia fantástica.
Já a entrega me deixou bem decepcionado. Enviaram o produto que é pesado em uma envelope bem fininho de plástico. Por causa disso todos os cantos ficaram amassados, e o plástico que sela o produto em si estava todo rasgado, como se já tivesse sido aberto. Decepcionante.

El box es muy sencillo pero el contenido es bueno; versión mini LP de cada CD, no dudes en adquirir si eres fan del rock en inglés; precio accesible y un muy buen título para tu colección...
