HOF musings
by Maggie White 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

So, when (not if) the Police are inducted into the R&R Hall Of Fame in 2003, who should have the honor of giving the (usually terrible) little speech? It's usually an artist who is a fan or who was influenced by the inductee. Bono comes to mind, but he's more of a peer than an underling. He's also inducted several people and I think the HOF is giving him a "breather." (Though I think he should have inducted the Ramones. He was a friend and true fan). And, IF the band plays together (not all bands do), which songs do you think they will play? The bigger bands usually get to do three songs. I'd put my money on: Roxanne Don't Stand OR Every Little Thing EBYT If you're interested in writing a letter to suggest the Police for 2003, here's an address I found. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation 1290 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10104 I think it's the right one. The letter can't just say, "Induct the Police, they are awesome." You have to spell out the significant impact you think they've had on music since their first album. WHY are they more deserving than other bands who are also eligible? (some bands have been trying for years to be selected). I don't think that will be too hard for any of us. Maggie

All I can say is that next years Hall Of Fame induction ceremony will be one of the best ever. With the exception of the Beatles, the two most anticipated reunions in rock history will finally take place. David Lee Roth with Van Halen and of course our boys, The Police. I can't wait!

by Angel C Little 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

What is this like? Anyone got a mp3 of this? I'm DROOLING to hear this now. Seeing that I was so kind to provide those Ghost demos (I would continue to do so but I got no more webspace since my old ISP QWest "merged" with MSN), if ANYONE could be so kind as to help me on this. Oh, and what is this song called 'Walking in Bayswater' like? Man I guess there is more stuff done by The Police then I'm aware of... lol! Angel C.

Oooh, you beat me to it. I was just getting ready to write "Maybe this will happen in 2003, the first year the Police are eligible for the R&R HOF." We have to start that petition movement/letter writing campaign as well. Maggie >>> Fred Berthelot <F.Berthelot(a)ramsa.com> 03/19/02 12:51PM >>> One of these days they will have to release a Police and Sting anthology, like The Beatles did. They could release all the albums in a box set with different takes, demos, unreleased songs etc. In addition to the Ghost demos, I know there are alternate takes of Roxanne, Can't Stand Losing You, So Lonely etc... These are studio recordings, not live, done at the time of Outlandos. In the alternate take of Roxanne, Sting sings "Roxanne... I won't share you with another man" instead of "boy." I have seen fans of other bands get together and petition for the release of material. Maybe we should just put our efforts together and ask the record company to consider an anthology. Isn't the Police's induction on the R&R Hall of Fame coming up? Seems like the right time to do it... -----Original Message----- From: Giovanni [mailto:giovanni.pollastri@libero.it] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 4:03 PM To: Craig Betts; police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: R: [Police] Re: Demo Track What If Hi Craig and everybdoy! I can confirm what Andy Summers use to say; he told me a few times that there are so many things that could be published (demos, radio sessions, previously unreleased tracks, live) that more than one good album could be released! But I think they will wait again. A triple cd was on his way to be released (two cd's with greatest hits and a third cd with the Vic Garbarini interview they recorded in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, already published in a couple of magazines); Andy told it has been absolutely great and the three of them really enjoyed doing this; they didn't record any music, only spoken word. If you have read it, you know what I mean! Ciao ciao Giovanni

Hi Police Fans I know for a fact that all the Demos/Concerts/Rehearsals exist for the police's 5 studio albums and Sessions in between tours etc, as Stewart has everything in his vaults. Plus in A&M/Polydors vaults we have Unreleased Studio Tracks by The Police such as.. Can't Stand Losing You(A&M Withdrawn Remix) Truth Hits EveryBody(Outtake) Test Add Barbie(Instrumental Written By All 3) De Do Do Do De Da Da Da (even though Andy says that they never Re-recorded the track during the 1986 sessions) They even have Every Bomb You Make there which A&M Press Dept. admited to me several years ago!!!! Plus when i spoke to Andy last year, he says they done Outtakes/Alternate Versions of nearly every track, so lets hope Polydor release these one day! (we wish) On the Zenyatta Demos there is a track called 'Walking in Bayswater' but this of course never made it ;-) Cheers Craig Betts, United Kingdom

RE: Demo Track What If?

Sorry Deborah, you are wrong! The version of De Do Do Do is NOT the 1986 Re-Recorded version from 'The Singles' Sessions in London. As everybody knows, this was Sting's 1980 Demo with Stewarts Demo Drum track of the song, both of these elements were mixed together, so all your hearing is a DTS Remix of Stings Demo Track. I'm glad this is the Demo as the Unreleased Version would sound on the same level as Don't Stand So Close To Me '86..better quality! The Demo version was only released due to the fact that the studio engineer could not find the original master reels of De Do Do Do, all they found was Sting's Demo and Stewarts Demo Drum Track. Thank You Craig, United Kingdom

best of Police demos
by csloan 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

It doesn't surprise me that Sting hated Behind My Camel. Personally, I don't love it or hate it--the only songs on Zenyatta that I think are weak are Canary in a Coalmine and Man in a Suitcase, but then again Canary is one of my brother's favorite Police tracks, so what do I know? On the subject of demos, I think that Don't Think We Could Be Friends is pretty catchy--it could have stood up at least as well as Canary or Man in a Suitcase had they finished it. But then, for which album was Don't Think...a demo for? It might not have been pre-Zenyatta Mondatta. Love, Courtney
