Stewart Copeland, Incredible

While enjoying Reggatta de Blanc recently the drumming really caught my attention. I would say that Copeland's percussion is the highlight of the album. He plays the drums on his high-hat better then most and never fails to add just the right amount of flair to what could be considered pretty simplistic melodies.
I used to own a green copy of his mini album which was released under the name Klark Kent. A great drummer for sure.

Yes, I can say without question that the original vinyl release did not have the song "Murder by Numbers".

If you wanted to hear that song you had to by the 45-the song was a B-side if I'm not mistaken.

What The Police should of done was replaced "Mother" with "Murder by Numbers".

That song is absolutely horrible and does not belong on the album.

Dreadhead - in addition to the Grand Pecking Order released by Oysterhead, many legal, live recordings are freely available. While the sound quality isn't as nice as the album version, the live shows are great as well. If you use bit torrent, many live shows are available at http://bt.etree.org, and for Oysterhead specifically, use this link:

gonna have to break out my Police vinyl after reading this thread...

Question though...there was an 80's movie with Mickey Rourke (as Motorcycle Boy), Matt Dillon as his brother and another popular actor of the day and the song at the end definitely featured Stewart Copeland on drums. What was the movie, and what was the song & band?

A perfect example at Stewart at his best is a song by the Police called, "This Time". From the beginning to end of this track his in a world of his own making and appears to be racing full speed ahead toward and imaginary finish line. Its an exhausting piece to say the least.
