Released in 1977, this is a greatest hits album of songs by Dion and the Belmonts, a vocal group from the Bronx in the late '50s and early 60's, with some hits by Dion on his own after he left the group in '61.
Here is I Wonder Why, followed by one of their biggest hits A Teenager in Love:

Starting off with a bang, Dire Straits, named for their financial condition at the time of recording this album, released there eponymous debut in late '78 to critical acclaim, thus quickly transforming their "dire straits". This is a great album, and the favourite in my collection.  My pick from this album is Six Blade Knife:

Following their debut with another release less that a year later came Communique'.  Considered not as strong an album as their first, perhaps due to the lack of  "hit" songs, but I feel this is still a very good album and certainly one for the collection.  Here is Portobelle Belle:

Jumping ahead a few records, and a number of years, we come to Brothers in Arms from 1985, which became one of the world's best selling albums at over 30 million copies sold!  This was the first album to sell 1 million copies in CD format, and to outsell the LP format. So you probably have this in your collection like everyone else, but here it is again.  First pressings of this album credit only Mark Knopfler with Money For Nothing; while later pressings correctly credit Mark Knopfler and Sting.  Here is the title track:

The final Dire Straits album in my collection is their first compellation album, Money For Nothing, with songs from their 5 studio albums and one live album to date. Released in 1988 on Vertigo.
