Dire Straits - Demo Tapes 1977


It all had to happen yet for the Dire Straits in 1977. The made some demos for Charlie Gillets Honky Tonk Radio. Sultans of swing was broadcasted on 31st July 1977 which resulted in a record deal and Dire Straits becoming one of the biggest acts in the '80's and early '90's.
The download are not the Honky Tonk demos but were made to explore how the album would sound. Eastbound Train was dropped in favour of Lions.

Down To The Waterline / Water Of Love / Seting Me Up / Six Blade Knife / Southbound Again / Sultans Of Swing / In The Gallery / Wild West End / Eastbound Train
