Very rarely heard music from Dire Straits
If you are a hardcore of the band, Dire Straits can you say if you have listened to all their studio albums? If you think you have, think again. Can you recall some songs like “Twisting by the pool” and ”Two young lovers”? And did you wonder where those songs came from?
Dire Straits did release an EP (Extended Play), LP record (predecessor to the cassette) called ExtendedancePlay (read that slowly). The UK release had 3 songs on it and the U.S version 4. The songs, “Twisting by the pool”, “Two Young lovers”, “Badges, Posters, T-shirts” and Stickers” and this sweet number called “If I had You”. Songs from this album were rarely played live but they appear on compilation and hits albums. Wikipedia says it is called ExtendedancEPlay. When I heard it in 1988 on a cassette tape it was an album called Twisting by the pool which according to Wikipedia was also how the album was called after the first song on the album.
Check out this beautiful sweet song with the usual hooks, licks and the typical sounds of the keys from Mark Knopfler and his band.
