Does anyone know what painting is on the cover? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.42.182 (talk) 16:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

terrible grammer
Am I the only person who has noticed this poor use of the English language?... "The album was remastered and released with the rest of the Dire Straits catalogue in 1996 to most of the world excluding the U.S. and on 19 September 2000 in the United States. For 2010 release of an anniversary album is planned. It will be devoted the 30 anniversary of the edition of a vinyl." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.215.40.36 (talk) 07:05, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Guitar

 * In this article: He played his 1938 National Style O 14 fret guitar
 * in Sultans of Swing article: The music for "Sultans of Swing" was composed by Mark Knopfler on a National Steel guitar

Release date
The stated release date of October 7, 1978 can't be right, as the album hit the UK album charts the week of July 22. Browsing online a date of June 8 is most commonly stated, although I don't know if any of those could be cited. PatConolly (talk) 00:09, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
