Description

Dire Straits "Communique" Original 1979 UK first vinyl pressing


NM disc with NM cover.

Communiqué  is the 2nd. studio album by the British rock band Dire Straits, released on June 5, 1979.  Produced by Jerry Wexler and Barry Beckett, the album features a refined, blues-rock sound similar to their debut, with notable songs including "Lady Writer" and "Where Do You Think You're Going?".
Unlike most eBay UK market albums which cost $25-$50 to ship, mine ship from Texas not UK and are NOT SUBJECT TO IMPORT TARIFFS - so no nasty extra tariff invoice from the shipping company before they will deliver!

Photos are of actual record.

I was a club DJ during the 1970s and 1980s in the UK, and always bought the latest LPs as soon as they were released.

I moved to California in 1995 and then to Texas in 2012. 

My entire 2000 plus treasured vinyl collection followed me around the world and has been meticulously stored upright in a climate controlled environment for the last forty years or so.

I recently decided to let my fantastic and eclectic collection go and you will find many highly desirable and collectable records that you will be proud to own and play for yourself.

All my records come with a brand new clear plastic outer cover for long lasting protection.


While you are here, why not check out my other rock, pop and soul R & B vinyl records? - I will gladly combine shipping on multiple items if you ask before buying.
