"Brothers In Arms," the album that earned Dire Straits international renown, is being reissued in a special 20th Anniversary Edition by Warner Bros. Records on August 16th.

"Brothers In Arms" will be made available on a double-sided compact disc, with the original stereo recording on one side and on the other, a DVD-A 5.1 Surround Sound mix.
