Money for Nothing is a greatest hits album by British rock band Dire Straits released in 1988. It features highlights from the band's first five albums. The vinyl edition omits "Telegraph Road" and has a different running order, with "Tunnel of Love" placed between "Money for Nothing", the title track, and "Brothers in Arms". The collection went to #1 on the UK Albums Chart. It sold 6.6 million copies in Europe and one million in the U.S.

Love Over Gold is the fourth studio album by 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 the number 2 position on the UK Singles Chart, and "Industrial Disease", which reached the number 9 position on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks in the United States.

There are hit records. And then there are blockbusters. One of the world’s best-selling records, a winner of two Grammy Awards, an era-defining reference statement, an MTV favorite, and a set that catapulted an already-acclaimed band to arena status, Brothers In Arms is the kind of epic spectacular that comes around only once or twice a decade. Surpassed only in fame and visibility during the period by Michael Jackson’s Thriller, the 1985 album remains idiosyncratic for its covetable combination of adventurous songwriting, precision-based performances, and reference-caliber fidelity.

Love You Live is a double live album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1977. It is drawn from Tour of the Americas shows in the US in the summer of 1975, Tour of Europe shows in 1976 and performances from the El Mocambo nightclub concert venue in Toronto in 1977. It is the band's third official full-length live release and is dedicated to the memory of audio engineer Keith Harwood, who died in a drug-induced car accident shortly before the album's release.

Наличие в альбоме развернутых музыкальных композиций с длинными инструментальными пассажами сближает его по стилистике с прог-роком.
Последний диск группы, записанный с участием барабанщика Пика Уизерса.

Первоначально планировалось осуществить запись альбома за три недели, и четвёртую звукозаписывающая компания дала неохотно, потребовалось проведение переговоров. Вся запись альбома (запись, сведение, обложка) стоила 12 700 фунтов стерлингов.

Communiqué was recorded from 28 November to 12 December 1978 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau. The album was produced by Barry Beckett and Jerry Wexler, veteran producers from Muscle Shoals Sound Studio who made legendary recordings with Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, the Staple Singers, The Rolling Stones, Traffic, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Willie Nelson, and Paul Simon.

The album won two Grammy Awards in 1986, and also won Best British Album at the 1987 Brit Awards. Q magazine placed the album at number 51 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.

Записывать диск начали ещё в феврале 1967, но поскольку Мик Джаггер и Кит Ричардс в разное время попадали в тюрьму за употребление наркотиков (в частности, ЛСД), процесс был завершён к ноябрю. Менялось и название. Первое название было — Cosmic Christmas, затем Her Satanic Majesty Requests And Requires, потом пришли к окончательному названию. Единственный альбом группы, где основной жанр — психоделический рок. Считается, что он был выпущен группой в качестве «ответа» на известный альбом Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
