British eighties rock masters Dire Straits found their stride with the second album, Communiqué, released in 1979. Somewhere between the pub rock J.J. Calisms of their debut and the pompous lengthy landscapes of Making Movies, it went on to sell seven million copies worldwide. Mark Knopfler and his band, which at the time still included Mark’s brother David on rhythm guitar, got their real breakthrough thanks to Communiqué. This songbook allows you to study every song from that milestone album, and even includes two different versions for four songs.
