Brilliant, thanks for the heads-up, evening sorted...

[Lozz196]

Same, not too keen on his solo stuff but The Police, oh yes!

[toneknob]

Saw the above three Police-related posts and first thought was "oh god which one's died"

My band in 1979 learned Can’t Stand Losing You after I bought it for 25p in Woolies. Fitted our pop-reggae set well.

 

Then the Police reissued it, it hit and we dropped it. Months later we played with Furniture (Brilliant Minds hitmakers) at the Moonlight Club and got an unexpected encore. Put it back into the set and brought the house down…

 

Furniture were b@stards, served em right😈

I guess I'm a bit late to this topic, but it seems to me that SkyArts is really The Andre Rieu Appreciation Channel.

I am sure we have had this conversation… 😂

 

Suffice to say someone made off with an expensive microphone… We shoulda called the Police!

Just watched a really good prog about Alanis Morissette on Sky Arts, a (recorded) live concert of hers due on now.

Unusual pressing, maybe a USA copy? The UK ones were the grey A&M logo IIRC,

with some done on blue / coloured vinyl too. 🙂
