DESCRIPTION: **Please see correction in comments**
This is the version of Sultans of Swing that Dire Straits recorded at Pathway Studios in the summer of 1977, along with Wild West End, Down to the Waterline and Water of Love. This was the version that was first played on Charlie Gillet's BBC radio show, and immediately created interest from a number of record company A & R and music press. Eventually the song was re-recorded for the first album.
