Love Over Gold, released in 1982, is the fourth studio album by British roots rock band Dire Straits. A much more ambitious project than previous albums, this one continues the increasing complexity of the band's music that had started two years earlier with Making Movies, the product of frontman Mark Knopfler's continuing desire to push the boundaries of what Dire Straits as musicians were capable of and innovate more and more upon the band's sound. The end result of this was an outright Progressive Rock album, far removed from the Three Chords and the Truth style that the band first achieved fame from, with heavy incorporation of keyboards and atmospheric synthesizer parts courtesy of keyboardist Alan Clark.The album topped the charts in the UK, Australia, Norway, New Zealand, Italy, and Austria, and peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Sweden Albums chart. The album additionally went gold in the US & Spain, platinum in Canada, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and New Zealand, and double-platinum in the UK. Lead single "Private Investigations" was also a No. 1 hit in the Netherlands and a No. 2 hit in the UK.Love Over Gold spawned two singles: "Private Investigations" and "Industrial Disease". An additional song, "Private Dancer", was written for the album but not recorded beyond an instrumental track; Knopfler, finding the lyrics unsuited for a male vocalist, handed the song to Tina Turner, who re-recorded it from scratch (owing to rights issues regarding the instrumental track) and made it the Title Track of her 1984 comeback album.On a more trivial note, Love Over Gold was the first album to be played over the radio on a Compact Disc; a promotional CD was broadcast by the BBC in October of 1982 (CD copies of the album wouldn't become commercially available for another two years).Tracklist: Side One "Telegraph Road" (14:17) "Private Investigations" (6:47) Side Two "Industrial Disease" (5:50) "Love Over Gold" (6:18) "It Never Rains" (8:00)Two men say they're tropers, one of 'em must be wrong: | |
