Mary J Blidge...
by Anders S�llstedt 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Hi guys, it was a long time since I last wrote anything so I thought I would cheer you guys up a little. (It depends how you look at it. :) ) Just heard a song by Mary J blidge called "Dance for me". The striking thing about the song is that someone found use for their sampler. :) They have sampled "the bed's to big without you". They have both used Andy's guitar and some of Sting's bass playing. I could hear it directly but it took a while for me to realize that they also took some of the bass guitar too. And just to cheer you guys even more, (:)) they even used some of used a hihat hit from the original. To be honest I even think it's kind of cool. To bad they don't use the whole riff and that they destroy the bass. :( But it feels good that someone still thinks the police rocks out in the big world. :) What do you guys think? Is there someone who knows any more songs out in the big world that sample the Police except that P diddy Biddy di Puff pappy... :) //Anders ------------------------------------------------- WebMail frÃ¥n Everyday http://www.everyday.com -------------------------------------------------

Puff Daddy remixes
by csloan 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Dear Everyone, I don't know exactly what kind of agreement P. Diddy (or whatever) has with Sting but he has sampled several Sting/Police songs and used them for himself or acts that he produces: EBYT (I'll Be Missing You); Shape of My Heart (Carl Thomas's "Emotional"); and now The Bed's Too Big... (Mary J. Blige's "Dance For Me"). I don't think they had anything to do with Puff Daddy but 702 (on the Motown label) sampled Voices Inside My Head for their "Steelo" back in 1996. There may be others but that's all I can think of offhand. Love, Courtney

Re: New-ish Police Material The white-label remix of Don't Stand So Close To Me is awfully good. Just when you thought you were too old to dance, that remix will get you off your feet in a hurry.

by Michele Petri 30 Jan '02

In Addition To The Sweatbox , Does anyone know why the Central Park Concert Was Never Broadcasted or Released on video /dvd? I must Have gone to Best Buy 10x To watch portions of The show & The Bit Of Footage I Watched Was Incredible "Sound , Quality Etc Etc " It Would Be A shame Not To Have an Oppurtunity To Add That Show To Our Sting Collections Especially for those who could not be There that was certainly one of the best sting shows I've ever attended P.S Anyone Going to The Olympics : ) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

In japan, it looks like an official dvd and the sound and image quality is very good although i have doubts about it being really official ... anyway, you can purchase it via quite some online shops in Japan, e.g. http://www.jpophelp.com.

new cd-single
by frotri＠panafonet.gr 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

On another note, in a recent talk that I had with a Universal guy, he told me that apparently, the new cd-single "(If You Love Somebody) Set Them Free" is to be released from the 8th February on, but he had no idea if this will be a radio-only single though ... Any news about this Fabien, Tom??? Cheers, Karel _
