- This one sounds pretty good but a touch brighter than usual. The MoFi SACD and 2021 Half Speed Master both sound better IMO

I inherited this album from my dad. It's beautifully recorded. My pressing was very quiet. If you're a fan of the movie, I'd highly recommend buying this.

I have this item with the disc manufactured in Korea by SKC- Edited 3 months agoThis pressing sounds amazing. Way better than the original pressings and the MoFi pressing. The MoFi LP is brighter and more detailed while this pressing is smooth, warm, and dynamic.
great soundtrack and another awesome pressing from MOFI... highly recommended- how does this compare to orig pressing? Does anyone have both??

The fellow who composed this mystical soundtrack score IS the same Mark Knopfler from the Dire Straits music group...The tale is about a fellow from Texas on the path to nowhere and he is assigned to work on a potential oil field in rural Scotland...He gets there and is totally lost...The superb cast makes the film so believable and the music reeks of local Scottish lore...I hear it and I want to see the film once again and even in my dreams visit this faraway seaside village...Ah, the phone booth...This WB VINYL is a real winner that sets the overall tone of the film...Great soundtrack and a character in the story...and this one fills that bill...
Like the rest of the editions of the Dire Straits that are being made in Mobile Fidelity, this one is not far behind. When the original recording master's degree already enjoyed a great production, this pressing enhances the sound and gives it a very real presence. In the line of MoFi editions, the bass are accentuated as well as some high frequencies, and a certain color is given to the sound delivered by the speakers. A soundtrack of indescribable beauty in a wonderful pressing.
