Why would you doubt Consequence?

They’re very reliable. 

THE POLICE - SYNCHRONICITY ORIGINAL TRAILER 1983

I usually didn’t buy cassettes back then, only vinyl. But I did buy Synchronicity on both formats.

Reason is the cassette had Murder by Numbers as a bonus track. And it was my favourite from the album.

Listening to Murder By Numbers as I read this.

I wish U2 were as generous with their reissues in terms of content.

That’s a lot of unreleased stuff.

Wons is as excited for this release as I was for the Dian Parkinson Playboy I got when I was 15.

King Of Pain - Demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coFbVTUeSh0

The Demo is pretty bare bones, that added a lot to it.




Studies In Synchronicity (Album Promotional Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRQTTI-NfUI

Synchronicity is in my top five favorite albums, so it means a lot to me. While I am glad to see the band finally digging deep, I don't have much interested in hearing dozens of demos and outtakes of the same song. I'll probably stream the bonus content and just pick up the remaster if it proves to be good.

The Police: August 2, 1983 at the Spektrum club the night before they played Olympic Stadium in Montreal.

Tea In The Saraha: New video of the track from this show, different camera angle, very clear and crisp, best quality.

The Spectrum.

Now gone, sadly.

Amazing. To my ears it’s just Sting’s demos, so… what they added is The Police’s input !

What amazes me hearing the demo is 1/Sting was already pushing the envelope, stretching the possibilities of what The Police were and 2/I would have loved to hear what his musicians from his first album would have done with the tune, adding a jazzy twist.
