Additional comments A collection of demo tapes first played on Charlie Gillets Honky Tonk on Radio London between 1975 and 1978. 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. Jewel case.
