Start Your Ear Off Right with Dire Straits, Genesis and Nuggets

RHINO blasts into the second half of the month-long Start Your Ear Off Right vinyl party with a thick stack of delicious new vinyl from the Sultans of Swing themselves, Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. Look out for no-nonsense black vinyl 180-gram heavyweight vinyl releases of no less than six of the British band's best studio efforts, including 2-LP versions of the massive Brothers in Arms (1985) and On Every Street (1991). See the full lineup below.

Genesis fans will definitely want to run out to their favorite indie retailer for the pair of extra sweet new releases from the band landing in stores today. First up is 1976 classic, A Trick of the Tail, which comes to party dressed in Easter yellow vinyl. Along for the ride is the crucial 1980 release Duke, with this one coming clean on sleek white vinyl.

Pop enthusiasts of the 1960s variety will want to check out Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968. Loaded with classics like the Seeds' "Pushin' Too Hard" and Barry & the Remains' "Don't Look Back," this baby is pressed on up across two lightweight 140-gram black vinyl platters.

All of the above are strictly limited edition, so grab the ones you want now before it's too late. Get more release details below.
