A nice compilation, combining both Dire straits and Knopfler solo work.Roughly every 10 years we receive a new "best of" from Dire straits. In 1988 we had "Money for nothing", in 1998 "Sultans of Swing" and this is the third best of entitled yet again as one of their most famous songs "Private investigations". Even though I still believe that "Money for nothing" is by far the best of them all, even though it doesn't cover the three last records of the band, this particular compilation has a great difference. It contains songs from both Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler solo records. For a serious fan, this compilation also offered a new song, but since it has been issued at the Harris/Knopfler collaboration "All the roadrunning", it has nothing new or unique to offer. The record company thought it was a good idea to market three different versions of the record, one as a single disc, another one as a double disc, and a third one as a deluxe packaging with book containing the 2CD version. The one CD version is way too limited for both Dire straits and Mark Knopfler solo work. The two CD version unfortunately devotes one CD for Dire straits and the second one to Knopfler's solo work. This is totally unfair to Dire straits work that is not fully represented. The deluxe edition is nothing special, with a book containing photos and a small text, that don't quite please the target group, the serious fan.
