Maybe they should just do what the late great Frank Zappa did...... Gather up all known and unknown bootlegs from all sources, clean them up and release them!

Wasn't Brand New Day his best selling album?
I think I may have heard that as well.
I think the reason for the tours success is nostalgia. I really don't think a new album would be all that big. In fact I think it would do worse than most popular bands today.
That's possible. The likes of Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake could possibly produce bigger hits. But I think a new Police album would sell as well as any Sting album (or a new Eagles album for that matter).
The demographic for the band is older, and most don't even bother buying many CD's anymore.
That's possibly true. I've read a number of articles that state that CD sales have declined with the popularity of digital downloads. However, I think the older demo still buys more CD's than the younger demo (who, I've read, prefer to download their purchases). I still buy CD's.
