The original question was from Craig, the Police File guy. I found Ian's answer interesting. I put Ian's answer first and the question last, to make sure everyone sees what Ian had to say. Maggie Hello Craig, welcome aboard. I'll try to look into the specifics of your question, a.s.a.p. Meanwhile, when Sting was last in town a week or two ago, Stewart went out to his place in Malibu and played him some tracks he's been working on. Stewart has taken all the masters of every studio and live recording and remixed some of the tracks to the degree that some are virtually new songs. With Sting's approval we might expect to see an album from this pretty soon. Other than that, I don't know about any unreleased material sitting around in the vaults somewhere. Cheers and regards, Ian Hi Ian Just found your site, it's great. I've been a massive Police fan since 1980 and im the editor of a Police Newsletter in the UK. One big question to ask you! Is there any Police Recordings that are still Unreleased in the vaults? such as Unreleased, Outtakes, Alternate Versions, etc Tracks like De Do Do Do '86/Test Add Barbie/Spirits(1981 Re-recording)/Every Bomb You Make, Unrecorded Demos(Such as 'Unrecoreded Ghost Tracks') & Unrecorded Live Only Versions(Such as 'Clouds In Venice') I would love to know..

rare police tracks from '83
by TJ Seven 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

hi there. i discovered a couple of rare police items on the 'net which i never knew existed until now: Every Breath You Take (backing track single) http://stingetc.com/rare/everybr2.shtml 1. Every Breath You Take (backing track) 2. Roxanne (backing track) Every Breath You Take (special edition single) http://stingetc.com/rare/everybr.shtml 1. Every Breath You Take 2. Murder by Numbers 3. Man in a Suitcase (live) 4. Truth Hits Everybody '83 both were released in '83. i am wondering if anyone on this list has either or both of these, and would like to engage in a copy-swap type thing? basically it seems sinful that the golden age of the internet and ease-of-audio transfer not be used to the advantage of people doomed to love a defunct band. by the way, i met sting last time he came to adelaide in '96. i sung "i'm so happy i can't stop crying" with him during that magical (and weird) audience participation moment in the set. i still get shivers.... tj

back from the dead
by Steve Agovino 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Yes, after a brief but semi-forced hiatus, I've finally found the xmission link to resubscribe under my new email address... and consequently, getting up off my lazy ass to do such. :) Since I got a real job in NYC several months ago, I stopped reading email at my old school account (which will probably be killed in the near future as it stands since I graduated *and* no longer work for them) because of the constant bombardment of spam mail that gets sent there. NO, I do NOT want nor need the following from these people: - more credit cards - a new cell phone - hair growth products - a free trip to Florida (if I decide to sit through their timeshare crap) - Viagra - to refinance my home - 1001 porn sites Thanks to Hotmail, I can filter out about 98% of this stuff and delete it with the click of a button, leaving the good mail to read. OK, so a lot of this is old stuff, I know, but... - Vegas show in December: Fn rocked. I wish I got the chance to go to the Beacon show a couple of weeks beforehand but this made up for it... except not being able to hear "The Bed's Too Big Without You." Ah well, c'est la vie. - Fragile remix (the DJ Monk one, not the album version): Could be better, but not all that bad. Still trying to track down the other remix promo. (if it wasn't an import, I would ask some co-workers to get it for me through the A&M people they are in contact with) - Found the SNL Music Performances Vol. 1 CD on ebay cheap the other day. I never bought it when it was in print (because I didn't want a lot of the other stuff at the time), but now appreciate some of the stuff on there. Great version of "Faith" on it back from 93, nearly sounds exactly like the album version. Still need to find "Dolphins" cheap. (no, Andrea, I *still* don't have it...) - Chris Botti show at the Bottom Line: Excellent. I wish I stayed for both sets, but I had a wedding to go to the following day... Andrea and Fred both told me that I should have stayed no matter what, but when you need to make the train home sometimes that's a little difficult. I was laughing my ass off when Chris remarked about how he was touring with Sting for 2 years, at which point Andrea let out an unrestrained "Wooooo!!", to which Chris answered, "Yeah, how many Sting shows have YOU been to?" :p For those of you who may have remembered it, I'm looking for a new home for my "Another Day" rarities homepage; it has been "temporarily" offline for a couple of months now. If anyone can recommend any decent domains (free preferably, with minimal banner ad garbage), please drop me an email. In the meantime, I highly recommend going to Fabien's page (http://www.outofprint.fr.st) ... besides, it's much much better than mine! He updates his more than once a month. :) (Fabien, I got your survey email - remind me to fill it out the next time I get home from work and am still awake...) Now for some useless shout-outs to people I've lost touch with before I get back to work... Doreen, Sue, and the other one from LI whose name I always forget (sorry)... it was good to see you guys again at the Bottom Line that night (even though I had to jet like practically right after the show)! Sophia - Ti kanes! To the European connection (Toni, Fabien, Lydia, LBB) - now that I have a real job, I'll be joining Fred and Andrea the next time they head out there, maybe for Montreaux this summer! James "Fanatic" Norman - answer your phone one of these days... :p Jebs - mesmerized by blackjack yet? Let me know the next time you guys will be back in town. Dawn - (see James Norman) Michelle from across town - what's up! Our new traffic cloverleaf better be worth it... Manassy - if you're reading this, drop me an email... has to do w/the show tonight. Very important... use my work address. Fred - (see James Norman) :p To anyone I may have forgotten, drop me a line and give me crap for not remembering you. :) Back to work I go... peace steve _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Uncut article
by csloan 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

I ordered a copy of the mag from their UK distributers. It came yesterday and the article is quite good, covering all the familiar points in a fairly fresh way, with lots of good, rare pix. And the cover photo is just divine... --Courtney

Uncut-- finally!
by Jennifer Albright 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

A month of fruitless visits and countless phone calls to Borders has finally ended. Last night I dreamt that, at long last, I held the April issue of Uncut magazine in my hot little hands. When I awoke at 11:30 AM, I rolled out of bed, grabbed the cordless phone, and rang the Santa Monica Borders. In reply to my trepidatious query the salesperson spoke those long-awaited words: "The one with the Police on the cover? Yeah, we have it." We burned west as fast as my roommate's Cadillac would carry us, and now I sit here at my computer with the precious periodical in my lap. O Elysium! The article? So far I've only skimmed it. I did look at the pictures. =) jENNIFER

Hi there, Last month Andy Summers worked with the 24-year-old drummer Kevin Sawka in Los Angeles for some exploratory recording, which will soon lead to a new project later this summer. Andy was introduced to Kevin Sawka by his old friend Michael Shrieve. Kevin Sawka used to play in Seatlle based bands like Siamese, 94th Street and Expanse. To listen to some of Sawka's work visit: < http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/300/kevin_sawka.html > Take care, Rogier.
