Hi guys,
Hope this works, since I just changed my subscription details. Anyway,
I was looking at last.fm and noticed that The Police were in the Top
Ten most listened to bands. This gladdened my heart, but also puzzled
me, because when I clicked the link, I found two albums listed: Greatest Hits, and this one:
http://www.last.fm/music/The%20Police/Live%20In%20Paris
Last.fm is, as far as I can tell, a site which keeps its finger on the
pulse of what people are listening to by analysing their i-Tunes
playlists. So I thought that perhaps somebody had just ripped a bootleg
album to their hard-drive and uploaded the cover picture.
But then I noticed that the album is listed as being on the Polydor label. The Greatest Hits
compilation is listed under Polygram International. I'm guessing
Polygram owns A&M, or maybe distributes their artists' CDs or
something, but what I don't get is why I haven't heard of this live CD
before if it's an official album. The only official live Police album
to my knowledge is the double CD from 1995, featuring one concert from
Boston and one from Atlanta - this "new" one is supposed to have been
recorded in Paris, and the tracklisting indicates that it was from the Zenyatta tour.
Theories?
