Love over Gold is the fourth studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, released on 24 September 1982[4] by Vertigo Records internationally and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The album featured two singles: `Private Investigations,` which reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, and `Industrial Disease,` which reached No. 9 on Billboard`s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the United States. The title track was released as a single two years later in its live version, and reached #15 in France,[5] #29 in New Zealand, #43 in Netherlands[6] and #50 in the band`s native United Kingdom.[7] The album reached number one on album charts in Australia, Austria, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom, as well as number 19 in the United States. Love over Gold was later certified gold in the United States, platinum in France and Germany and double-platinum in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Background
Following the end of the On Location Tour on 6 July 1981 in Luxembourg, Mark Knopfler began writing songs for Dire Straits` next album. Alan Clark (keyboards) and Hal Lindes (guitar), who joined the band for the On Location Tour, would also be involved with the new album. This was also the last album to feature drummer Pick Withers.

Knopfler was inspired to write `Telegraph Road,` the album`s 14-minute centerpiece, after Dire Straits` tour bus drove for miles along Telegraph Road in Detroit:[8]

I was reading a book at the time called The Growth of the Soil and I just put the two together...it`s the same road, and it just went on and on and on forever, it`s like what they call linear development, and I just started to think. I wondered how that road must have been when it started, what it must have first been...I was actually sitting in the front of the tour bus at the time.[9]

Recording
Love over Gold was recorded at the Power Station in New York from 8 March to 11 June 1982. Knopfler produced the album, with Neil Dorfsman as his engineer—the first in a long line of collaborations between the two.

Knopfler used several guitars during the sessions, including four Schecter Stratocasters—two red, one blue, and one sunburst—a black Schecter Telecaster, an Ovation classical guitar on `Private Investigations` and `Love over Gold,` a custom Erlewine Automatic on `Industrial Disease` and his 1937 National steel guitar on `Telegraph Road.` Knopfler also used Ovation twelve- and six-string acoustic guitars during the recording.

Several songs were written and recorded during the Love over Gold sessions that were not released on the album. `Private Dancer` was originally planned for the album, with all but the vocal tracks being recorded. Knopfler decided that a female voice would be more appropriate and handed the song to Tina Turner for her comeback album, Private Dancer.[10] `The Way It Always Starts` ended up on Knopfler`s soundtrack to the film Local Hero, with vocals sung by Gerry Rafferty. `Badges, Posters, Stickers and T-Shirts` was cut from the album and later released in the UK as a B-side to `Private Investigations` and in the United States as the B-side to `Industrial Disease.` It was subsequently released in t
