I think that this is my favourite album cover. I realise that I may be swayed as Mark Knopfler is literally my favourite song writer (and an amazing guitar player) but I love this album cover. I'm particularly drawn to the interesting photography that has been used and the overall aesthetic. Having listened to the album, the cover really expresses the feeling and not sentiment, but attitude of the album, and the song lyrics.
The cover was designed my Mystery Limited London (graphic and advertising design company), who have also designed Knopfler's recent albums, Best of Dire Straights album, as well as his website. Clearly he is a fan of their design work, as am I
