Princess Diana's record collection

[twm]

I always thought that Dire Straits was amongst her favorites but look at this:

I won't say who is there and maybe she only got Dire Straits on CD but the presence of you-know-who was a surprise to me.

They are talking about her childhood collection! Diana was born in 1961 and watching her favourite list and especial all those classic number,s this was her music she listened to as a child! 

I think later when she grew up she got interested in all the other bands like Dire Straits; Duran Duran; Elton John, Bryn Adams; Phil Collins; Level 42 etc
So the fact that DS aren't mentioned in the list of 19 albums doesn't mean she didn't have those albums or those of other great artists!  I mean she might have had 100 albums and now only 19 will be sold!

 Haha, you don

Well, "Hard Rain" came out in 1976 and I wouldn't have thought it typical fodder for a 15-year old.

As it happens, i agree with you. I suspect that she got DS on CD rather than LP.

Well there is one DS number in the list: Romeo and Juliet!

I think I was around 15 when I bought my first Dylan album.

hard rain is a strange choice as a first BD album...imho..

I can recall hearing DS's "Romeo and Juliet" played on BBC Radio Scotland's folk music programme "Travelling Folk" back in the mid-1980s or late-1980s. I thought it a strange choice at the time, perhaps less so now. The programme was a bit more eclectic back then, as they also played a couple of tracks from Mary Chapin Carpenter's first album - before it was released in the U.K., as I recall.
