      ​@@HeathcoatmanCome on, the song "One World" is the shittiest song ever done by Dire Straits.
      80s pop rock cliché sound in that song.
      In my opinion, the magic of Dire Straits is only in his 2 first albums.
      The best thing about these 2 records is that they brought us hits like Sultans or Lady Writer, but secondary songs like "In The Gallery", "Lions", "Communiqué" or "Angel of Mercy" are as good as the hits. They're like hidden gems and all songs have the same top quality.
      After that 2 albums, they went too commercial in my opinion and they started to do weaker than hits. Songs like "Industrial Desease", the mentioned "One World" or "The Man is Too Strong" are not bad song, but they're inferior to the main hits and quality is lower in these songs.

    Harry R Phillips, Leeds sculptor - He couldn't be in the gallery.
    This song tells the story about a sculptor from Leeds called Harry R Phillips. The lyrics say how he was ignored by all the trendy boys in London and in Leeds. While the dealers they get together, and they decide who gets the breaks, and who's going to be in the gallery.
    Mark was a junior reporter for the Yorkshire Evening Post in the late 1960's. One of his assignments was to interview a musician from Leeds called Steve Phillips, his father was the sculptor Harry Phillips. Mark and Steve played the Leeds pub circuit as a duo called The Duolian String Pickers. Mark bought the famous National Resonator guitar from Steve that featured on the Brothers in arms album cover.
    The idea for the song came about when Mark visited an art gallery in Shaftesbury Avenue, London. He found the exhibits to be laughable and a con subsidised by the public purse for "all the phonies and all of the fakes" while genuine talented artists like Harry R Phillips were Ignored.
    The lyrics tell of Jesus on the cross, which is a sculpture Harry
    Philips made. It can be seen above the altar in St. George's church,
    Letchworth Garden City. The fallen angel is the other sculpture that can be seen on the tower of St Michael's church in Lewes. I've no idea what the skating ballerina was though :-)

      I had it on the clear sleeve Vinyl for the late 1978's. I Believe 1978? I was mainly listening to Pink Floyd's Animals that summer I was such a little rock and roll player back then. I could copy on guitar anythin Iistened to back then. When Ven Halen came out in 1978 It was like a punch to the face by Connor McGregor. Just Brutal. In my humble opinion, Mr. Ed may be a true jerk, but he's one if the biggest ever best ever rock guitarists. The sounds he comes up with having no pedals or anything atrached. MAGNIFICANCE! They should have never done the cover songs though. It cheapens them.

    I think I bought this album in the early 80s, never appreciated what a great song this is until more recently. I was telling our son (who plays guitar pretty well imo) it was bloody brave of the them to record this at the time and maybe even braver for the record company to back them. There was nothing else out there remotely like this at the time and with punk taking off, clean undistorted guitar and non disco friendly tracks it was a bit of a gamble. MK still has the first electric guitar his father bought him and I think that’s pretty bloody cool also, never forgot where he came from and although I really didn’t like some of their more commercial cuts (let’s face it , twisting by the pool was a travesty) I really enjoy the story telling that MK weaves into his material. Lesser heard gems such as Why Aye Man, Song for Sonny Liston etc, even Industrial Disease while being as commercial as hell, I don’t think many of the lyrics are repeated apart from the song title. Massive respect for him.

      It arose out of hippies and young rebels with a guitar and not much else, no computers, no big fat stereos for entertainment. Made our own music with what instruments there were. Whistle a tune, sing a song, slap your knees, dance all night long. Lack of easy wealth, and individual innovation made outstanding musicians come out of the mix. It has changed drastically in ways not incompatable with music lovers, World music, Chill, crossover Blues Rock, Blues Jazz, Lounge.... theres lots to love if you look around and give a listen.

    I've just dug out my cassette tape of this album, having not listened to it for some time, what with CDs, TH-cam etc. It's over forty years old, and still plays well on my cheap system. Best of all, the sound quality is markedly better than we've become used to with TH-cam videos. Comparing this song back-to-back, it's really noticeable. I should add, my computer audio goes to the AUX input of the stereo system, so both computer and tape sounds come out of the same speakers. The stereo is an Aiwa LCX-137.

    Harry made a bareback rider proud and free upon a horse
    And a fine coal miner for the NCB that was
    A fallen angel and Jesus on the cross
    A skating ballerina you should have seen her do the skater's waltz
    Some people have got to paint and draw
    Harry had to work in clay and stone
    Like the waves coming to the shore
    It was in his blood and in his bones
    Ignored by all the trendy boys in London and in Leeds
    He might as well have been making toys or strings of beads
    He could not be in the gallery
    And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at all
    He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
    The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
    While the dealers they get together
    And they decide who gets the breaks
    And who's going to be in the gallery
    No lies he wouldn't compromise
    No junk no bits of string
    And all the lies we subsidize
    That just don't mean a thing
    I've got to say he passed away in obscurity
    And now all the vultures are coming down from the tree
    So he's going to be in the gallery.

      Harry is a sculptor, a "starving" artist. He doesn't play art world politics so he doesn't get to be in any of the trendy galleries of London, and it's only after dying (too poor to afford health care?) that he's suddenly in demand and selling like hotcakes. Ironic.
