remasters
by Steve Agovino 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Have any of you updated and/or replaced your catalog with the new remasters? (not SACD versions, the standard CDs) Is there a noticeable sound difference between these and the "Message In A Box" set? Also what kind of packaging changes were there? Any enhancements on the CD? (I really don't want to throw the money out on something that basically I already have - so any advice would help here in this dept.) (also, on a side note -- why the hell was I receiving an email about getting a "Happy Hug" from the mailing list?? I know you all love me and everything, but still........) steve _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Police DVD news
by SOMEDUDE20＠aol.com 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hello list, hope you had a chance to check out my Police-like songs at www.geocities.com/somedude72175 (sorry, shameless plug) Here is the DVD news from Billboard.com: Police DVDs Could Be In The Offing With <A HREF="http://www.billboard.com/billboard/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id…">remastered reissues</A> of the Police's entire catalog arriving in stores this week on both regular and Super Audio CD formats, the next Police items to surface over the next few years will probably come in the form of a group of DVDs, according to the band's longtime manager, Miles Copeland. "We certainly have a lot of visual footage," says Copeland, brother of drummer Stewart Copeland. "We want to do a lot of DVD product, where we pull a lot of the visual stuff together." And indeed, Copeland notes there is much available, from the group's many music videos to the previously released "Around the World" film, to well-known footage of the band performing on the Synchronicity tour, plus a lot of early footage shot by Stewart. He adds, "I've already been talking to the catalog division at Universal to say, 'We should start thinking about DVD releases from one year from now. We have all this kind of footage, so why don't we put together a series of stuff?'" The Police have not been on stage together since Sting's 1992 wedding, and have not recorded as a group since 1986. Stewart Copeland <A HREF="http://www.billboard.com/billboard/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id…">told Billboard.com</A> in September 2001 that the trio was planning to jam for fun at Sting's 50th birthday party in Marrakesh, Morocco, but the bash was canceled in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. -- Wes Orshoski, N.Y.

The Police In Today's New York Daily News
by Dogstar112＠aol.com 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

The actual newspaper had a 4x6 photograph of The Police with the caption- "Back On The Beat: The Police, here in their 80's heyday, will reunite for a performance." Excerpt from article: "It was worth all the pain and anguish to finally, after 25 years, get the gold watch," says Police guitarist Andy Summers. Police roundup Summers will join fellow Policemen Stewart Copeland and Sting to perform at Monday's ceremony, their first show together since an aborted attempt at Sting's wedding in 1992. Sting says he's doing this one "because the Police were a damn good band, and it's an honor." The group's only other plan is a 25th-anniversary rerelease of their recordings — a gambit many record companies take when an artist is inducted.

Re: HOF

Greetings fellow Police fans I also tried to get tickets to the HOF. I have a very good contact in the music business. It looked pretty good that I was in. However he also came back with a $1500 price tag per ticket. I was very very tempted but I think it is way too much. Karel, I also am here in LA. If you are going to backstage cafe please can you let me know also. Regards Mars __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

STUNG - Friday, March 7th at the Backstage Cafe!!!
by Stunglive＠cs.com 06 Mar '03

POLICE TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME STUNG TO PLAY OFFICIAL PRE-PARTY - FRIDAY, MARCH 7TH AT BACKSTAGE CAFE Well, two dreams have come true for us this week...the Police are being inducted into the hall of fame, and we get to play the official pre-party! Yep, STUNG is packing into the van and heading to the glitzy lights of Beverly Hills, where Ian Copeland (brother of Stewart and legendary music agent-guru) is hosting a send off party for the band at his restaurant before they head to New York for the Hall of Fame Ceremony. It's a dream gig for a tribute band to play at party that is the ultimate tribute to band, at the ultimate venue! We are stoked, and are so thankful to Jools Holland, Ian Copeland and the Backstage for having us on this momentous occasion! We are rock out like we never have before, playing before the ultimate audience of Police fanatics in the music industry capitol. (Wish us luck..!) Rumor has it that STEWART COPELAND and ANDY SUMMERS have been rehearsing with Stewart's house in Los Angeles, and are meeting up with STING for what will be their first Police rehearsal in over 15 years. They will then be then heading off to New York City and proceed to blow the socks off the big wig hall of fame pomps and prisses at the ceremony on Monday night, (though it isn't broadcast until Sunday, March 16th on VH1), all the while being recognized for their ground breaking contributions to rock history. We're looking forward to a spectacular last west coast hurrah for our heroes before being immortalized in the halls of Cleveland! Needless to say, we couldn't be happier to be involved in the event. Check out www.stunglive.com for info, news and pictures from the show as they come in! We'll be back in San Francisco the following Friday, March 14th at Ireland's 32 in the Richmond, hopefully with lots to brag about our road stories and celebrity brushes! We'll have our fingers crossed! More and more people are getting STUNG! Have you? Cheerio, STUNG "Reminding the world the Police rock!" www.stunglive.com

A Few Questions...
by brian.d.thompson＠gsk.com 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

A few questions that I'm hoping this list can answer: 1. I remember a few years ago it was reported on this list that Sting, Stewart, and Andy got together to tape an interview/audio commentary that was to be released as part of a box set rerelease or greatest hits rerelease. One music magazine (can't remember which one) even printed a transcript of a portion of the interview. Has this ever been released in any form? 2. I was fortunate enough to attend Sting's Central Park gig at the end of the BND tour. Any news on this getting a CD or DVD release? Has it been bootlegged? 3. Is Erwin Kempen's "Freaks" mailing list for collectors still active? 4. What's the latest info on Sting's upcoming album? Any real news yet? What about the two albums that Andy is recording? Is Stewart recording anything new these days? Is Oysterhead finished or just on hiatus? I was going to see them at a great venue in New Haven but 9/11 cancelled the show! Thanks, Brian T.

STING/POLICE Patches, buttons
by stunglive＠cs.com 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

I am looking for some POLICE sew-on patches, particularly some that have album logos or recognizable images of the band. I have scoured most of Northern California and found two old, cheesy buttons that could be easliy made with a home kit. If anyone has or knows of any for sale, please contact me (privately, or thru the list). Or if you see one, grab them and I will happily paypal you for them, or send money through snail mail, plus a STUNG care package to boot! Speaking of which, Maggie, thanks for the Stewart Interview cd, but I lost your address to send you your STUNG care package. Can you send it to me, and I will get your goodies in the mail to you. Sorry for the delay. Thanks! Hope to see some of you at the Backstage March 7th! -Bee STUNG www.stunglive.com
