513.0. "Every Breath You Take" by BRSADG::ROBSON (Biggles...) Tue Oct 28 1986 09:35

For POLICE fans...

I saw advertised in the Mail on Sunday (English paper) that the POLICE have
finally brought out their greatest hits.

It's called Every Breath You Take and is supposed to contain everything.

I'll get one from U.K. this weekend and post a review here as a reply.

(P.S. Anyone seen Blondies Autoamerican yet?)

513.1The SINGLESUSHS01::PARRACOWed Oct 29 1986 16:0416
    
    The album is due out for November release in USA called :
    
    The POLICE, the Singles ......
    
    And it includes the newly re-cut version / video of Don't Stand
    So Close To Me - more melodic , slower and richer in texture ..
    
    The video is playing on MTV here and on local AOR stations .....
    
    - Andy Parraco
    
    P.S. See any obscure Peter Gabriel CD's over there ??
         
    	 Also, ever see Stewart Copeland's soundtrack for Rumble Fish?
513.2No, thanks.NINJA::HEFFELExamine everything.Wed Oct 29 1986 21:2611
    Hell.  Call me old fashioned, but I don't think the new version
    of "Don't Stand..." is anywhere near as good as the original.  Somehow
    this "Greatest Hits" album just feels a little sleazy to me.  I
    *love* the Police, but somehow I just can't feel right about shelling
    out the cash for this one.  Pretty soon we'll start seeing the ads
    on TV for K-Tel's "Best of the Police".  Yech!  Get the boys back
    together, and we'll talk.
    
    I'll be happy with all my other Police CD's, thank you.

513.3Got it!BRSADG::ROBSONBiggles...Thu Oct 30 1986 05:1118
Found it in Brussels last night. It's really good. I held off buying the
separate discs knowing that there will be a 'best of'.

It starts of with Roxanne, Can't stand losing you, ... goes on thruogh
so lonely, message in a bottle, walking on the moon,
every little thing she does is magic,
(my two favourites next ) invisible sun and every breath you take.
It finishes with two obscure songs I haven't heard before.

All in all there are 16 tracks (from memory).

Well recommended. It is, unfortunatly, only AAD. But the quality isn't too bad.

Cost? 745 belgian francs = about 13 pounds = about 20 dollars(?)

I also agree that the don't stand-86 is no where near as good as the original.
