FACT OF THE DAY: Did You Know?..... If there’s ever been a certain CD you’ve wanted, you had to had to act quickly in May 1985 as it seemed everyone was after the same one, Dire Straits’ “Brothers In Arms!” It was in such demand that it was the first album to sell over a million copies in CD format and even outsold its LP version.

“Brothers In Arms” was one of the first albums that was aimed at the Compact Disc market and whereas most popular music was recorded using analogue equipment, this was a fully digital recording. It spent a total of 14 non-consecutive week’s at the top of the album charts in the UK and certified platinum 10 times. It is also the eighth best selling album in UK chart history. It features the singles “Money For Nothing” and “Walk Of Life.”
