The Police New Album
I blogged about their reunion for the Grammys in February, and their performance brought goosebumps. anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Police fan.
To see the three of them onstage and still be as exciting and energetic as they where 30 years ago was incredible. They shortly thereafter announced tour dates of which sold out before I was able to get any. Okay so I could have gotten tickets, but they were priced at $52, $92, and $227 – $227! WTF!. Anyways, then came the inevidable rumorsof a new police cd.
Oh Snap! They haven’t releasaed a new CD of original music since Synchronicty in 1983 – the year I graduated high school. (Damn I’m old – I got the parachute pants to prove it)
The blood pressure rose, the cold sweat started, the involuntary shaking began. Then it was revealed. It will be a 2 CD greatest hits CD. A letdown at first sure, but after thinking about it, it’s gonna be nice to have all these songs on 2 CD’s instead of shuffling between all the originals in my car. Here are the tracks:
| Disc: 1 1. Fallout 2. Can’t Stand Losing You 3. Next to You 4. Roxanne 5. Truth Hits Everybody 6. Hole in My Life 7. So Lonely 8. Message in a Bottle 9. Reggatta de Blanc 10. Bring on the Night 11. Walking on the Moon 12. Don’t Stand So Close to Me 13. Driven to Tears 14. Canary in a Coalmine |
Disc: 2 1. Do Do Do de da da Da 2. Voices Inside My Head 3. Invisible Sun 4. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic 5. Spirits in the Material World 6. Demolition Man 7. Every Breath You Take 8. Synchronicity I 9. Wrapped Around Your Finger 10. Walking in Your Footsteps 11. Synchronicity II 12. King of Pain 13. Murder by Numbers 14. Tea in the Sahara |
Although missing a few of my favorites, it pretty much covers all the radio hits, and I can still dream of a new, all originals police cd.

I would SO love to get my hands on a Police CD but I don’t know when they will reach me in Malaysia! GGGrrrr
