Golden Heart is the debut solo studio album by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler, released on 26 March 1996 by Vertigo Records internationally and Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Following a successful career leading the British rock band Dire Straits and composing a string of critically acclaimed film soundtrack albums, Knopfler produced his first solo album, drawing upon the various musical endeavors in which he has engaged since emerging as a major recording artist in 1978. The album reached the top ten position on album charts in Austria, Belgium, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The album peaked at 105 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.

Несмотря на то, что Dire Straits возникли в тот момент, когда наибольшей популярностью в Англии пользовались панк-рок и «новая волна», музыка группы, в которой явственно прослеживались американские блюзовые традиции, имела настолько высокую «пробу», что, по существу, определила мэйнстрим рока восьмидесятых годов. Dire Straits собрал бывший преподаватель Лондонского университета Марк Нопфлер.

On the Night is the second live album by the British rock band Dire Straits, released on 10 May 1993 by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The album features many of the band's later hits, including the singles "Walk of Life" and "Money for Nothing".

On Every Street is the sixth and final studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, released on 9 September 1991 by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The follow-up to the band's massively successful album Brothers in Arms, On Every Street reached the top of the UK albums chart and was also certified platinum by the RIAA.

Название альбому дала строчка из песни «Skateaway». Кроме того, такое же название носила не вошедшая в альбом песня. Журнал Rolling Stone поместил альбом на 52-ю позицию в их списке «100 лучших альбомов 80-х годов». Making Movies был самым продаваемым альбомом в Италии в 1981 году, будучи распроданным тиражом свыше миллиона копий, в Европе альбом был продан тиражом 3800 тысяч экземпляров.

Love over Gold is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Dire Straits released on 20 September 1982 by Vertigo Records internationally and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The album produced two singles, "Private Investigations", which reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, and "Industrial Disease", which reached number 9 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the United States. The fourteen-minute opus, "Telegraph Road" has gone on to become a favourite on FM radio worldwide. The album reached number 1 on album charts in Australia, Austria, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom, and number 19 in the United States. Love over Gold was later certified gold in the United States, platinum in France and Germany and double-platinum in Canada and the United Kingdom.
