Lot #117: Mark Knopfler Vinyl LP Soundtracks: Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989) & Local Hero (1983)

Premium 2-LP collector's lot ft two iconic original motion picture soundtracks composed and produced by Dire Straits frontman, Mark Knopfler. Combines his BAFTA-nominated cinematic debut with his critically acclaimed late-80s orchestral masterpiece. Last Exit to Brooklyn: Cover: stark, high-contrast cover mirrors the gritty melancholic atmosphere of Uli Edel's film adaptation of Hubert Selby Jr.'s novel. A highly recognizable design for fans of 80s cult cinema. Track: unlike Knopfler's traditional roots-rock, this album leans heavily into rich, heartbreaking orchestral arrangements mixed with synth textures. Local Hero: Cover: minimalist bright yellow border frames Denis Waugh's photograph. Captures a serene Scottish coastline scene that encapsulates the whimsical, environmental spirit of Bill Forsyth's comedy film. Tracks: album prized for containing "Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero" - an instrumental anthem ft phenomenal sax work by Michael Brecker. Auction Note: All lots are from a single estate collection. This is an opportunity to purchase a carefully curated decades-spanning collection from a single collector. The majority of the vinyl is in near mint condition with many appearing unplayed - if there are flaws of note we did our best to photograph that specifically.
