Stewart Copeland, Incredible

Humm, haven't listed to The Police in a while 'cause most of my Police stuff is on vinyl and I don't have my TT set up right now. So, I pulled out my copy of "The Singles" on CD and gave it a listen. WOW! I never really paid much attention to Copeland, but you guys are right. He's awesome! Check out his work on "Walking on the Moon". It's incredible......

Enjoy,

Giant steps are what you take, walking on the moon...

"Murder by Numbers" is from the Synchronicity compact disc.

It is indeed on the CD.

I am pretty sure it was on the vinyl album I had. I am kind of elephant memory on these things - at least when it comes to music. However it was 1983 (a long time ago) and about 50% of all the Vinyl I ever bought were Japanese pressings (a lot of the rest was 12" 45's that always sounded better than LP's). I'll be honest but regular pressings were to put it mildly mostly crap!

Is it possible I had the Japanese pressing which was different?

Unfortunately, my Vinyl is in storage in my parents basement somewhere half way across the country so I can't confirm this but I remember playing it on Vinyl before CD came out.

BTW - Spirits has some great drumming too and pushes Sting's bass playing abilities (he's no John Deacon, Geddy Lee or John Taylor) but an amazing and influential songwriter. Many people say Ghost in Machine was dark but it was probably my favorite overall.

>>I am pretty sure it was on the vinyl album I had<<

It was not on the original US release of the album which happens to be a terrific recording BTW.

Great sonics.

Even "Mother", a total dog, sounds good.
