James : I came across this tune only recently. Now that I have the CD, I keep replaying track 1 repeatedly.  The rest of the CD sounds pretty good, but LAJADASm's is so good that I keep replaying it. An ear-worm for sure. (I am trying to figure out how the bassist sounds like he is quoting TakeFive in 3/4. Oh well, one day I will learn to count...)
 

The other one that I keep going back to is 'Basil', such a cool piece of writing.
 

James,
That is great song! MK is a master storyteller for sure. Its astonishing that after 40 years Mr. Knoffler is still able to write songs of this high quality. If anything, he has actually gotten better. I have several of his other solo albums and there are plenty of gems on them.
 
Here is one that always grabs me. It could be one of the most personal he ever did:
