The third album of Dire Straits, Making Movies, released in 1980, was not on a par with its predecessor, although the single Romeo and Juliet had a good charts history. He refused to stay in his brother’s shadow and started a solo career. Even the big success of the sophomore album did not keep David Knopfler on the band. Some of the songs, including Once Upon A Time In A West, Lady Writer, and Angel Of Mercy became trademarks of Dire Straits. This studio work overcame the debut album and hit the leading positions in numerous charts, including the first place in Germany. This one was a sign of the group’s progress with improved melodiousness, arrangements and vocals. In the late 1979, Dire Straits started recording the second album, Communique (1979).
