some questions: did anyone notice that the studio recording of "Message in a bottle" has an official end? Turn the volume up and the instruments stop playing, then Sting sings / says "sending out an S.O.blue". I don't know if I dreamt this but I might have read somewhere that this was to be "Esso blue". Does anyone remember any advertising that had this expression "Esso blue"? Another non-Police-question. As I watch a lot of DVDs in their original language I noticed that in some films a game is mentioned that I don't understand at all. Can anyone tell me about "Marco Polo"? Please!!! Thanks, Dietmar
Hi everybody from Giovanni.
did anyone notice that the studio recording of "Message in a bottle" has an official end? Turn the volume up and the instruments stop playing, then Sting sings / says "sending out an S.O.blue".
Sting one day answered about that in an interview for Q Magazine (If I remember well) and he explained talking about the S.O.Blue ad. There is another weird thing concernig Police different mixing: if you listen to 'Roxanne' in some of the releases (greatest hits, Message In A Box, singles, etc....) you will notice a different speed at the beginning for some of the recordings; it comes back to 'normal' speed in a few seconds, but this alterate the sound of the first few chords, and you can easily listen they are higher than the rest of the song; it happens only in a few releases. Another 'sound freak' can be listenend in 'Bring On The Night': a guitar chord is completely cut while is still 'sounding', in a very bad way to tell the truth, but is so hidden that you can't listen to it normally; I only noticed it last year, while I was listening to the song in the recording studio where I use to work. Ciao ciao Giovanni
As far as I remember from previous posts on ths topic, "Esso Blue" is an expression fro an old commercial for the petrol company Esso. Can any of you natives clarify this? Mikkel

This is soooo funny because I was listening to Sting on the radio (he was at a Peterboro Ontario radio station called the Wolf 101.5), this was about 8-9 yrs ago and someone called in and asked why everyone was laughing at the end of DOTBT and Sting said that Brandford had farted. He was on the radio accepting calls from midnight to 4am. And where was Jane at the time?????? UP NORTH IN A CABIN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO TOILET, NO POWER AND NO TELEPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I listened to the whole thing though and actually considered driving in the middle of the night to Peterboro (about 1 & 1/2 hours). Thinking back now, I know that I should have done it. Ho hum....... Jane 1. Get a hold of Sting's "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" album. 2. Listen carefully 58 seconds into track 8, the title track. You'll hear a little blurp from the saxophone. That was Branford Marsalis--he passed some gas during the recording session. That's why you can hear the group cracking up at the end of the song. I heard Sting explain this in a radio interview.
