Chronology - Duggie Campbell single
by DtmrCls＠aol.com 10 Aug '03

Hi that one is just for the freaks who want to know everything about Sting. I tried to find out the exact date when Sting produced the Duggie Campbell 7" in 1979. So I asked the man who played keyboard on the single. This is his reply: Hi Dietmar, I remember the single was recorded in a studio in London – no idea which one...we shared a cab with Sting after the session and he was talking about having just played at the Reading festival if that’s any help. I might have more info on my website in the discography – jonnsavannah.co.uk Sting produced the sessions and was very actively involved. He was unhappy that the drummer was playing lightly and was in the room with him jumping up and down, trying to get more energy from him. It worked to a degree! I suggested that we go the reggae route on one of the tunes (it might have been the one you mention...) and Sting said, “...that’s a good idea – I like reggae...” All in all he seemed like a good guy and was a good vibe to work with – maybe now things are different after his mammoth success. Cheers - Jonn bye Dietmar

Re: [Police] Moon 2003 et al

I received my Send Your Love single/Moon today! I've been waiting to give my opinion of the song until I heard the CD edit and I have to say I LOVE IT! This is one of my reasons why the techno works for me... I do Jazzercise (aerobic dance exercise with toning at the end). For every Sting song we've used, it's always been the toning portion---lifting weights, doing abs etc.). Finally, I have a song we can do the aerobic portion to. Lame reason, but that's just one of them! Now I just have to hope the almighty gives Jazzercise the right to use it. Moon was an interesting remix, or new song I guess. I've never heard him sing that low for such an extended period of time. It was almost as if two different people were singing the song when he reverted to the higher octave toward the end. Just my take. I like it, but don't love it. I guess I'm kind of tired of that song anyway. Michelle

three questions
by DtmrCls＠aol.com 02 Aug '03

02 Aug '03

Hi sadly no one could tell me when Mickey Sumner was born. Any idea? The second question to all French fans: does anyone know what the Palais des Glaces looked like in 1977? I've got some photos of The Police with Henri Padovani and would like to be sure that these were taken at this venue... The third questions to all New Yorker fans: does anyone what the Ritz looked like in 1981? I've got some Andy Summer photos before a background that's probably inside the Ritz on January 11, 1981. thanks Dietmar

Moon 2003 et al

Hi, I got the Japanese Send Your Love in the mail yesterday. I bought it from CD Japan - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/search.html?type=NC&word=sting&restrict=ALL I thought CD Japan did a good job and offered the product for less money than Amazon and is no doubt faster. It comes out a couple bucks cheaper after shipping is all paid for. I also got it 3 days after the release date, which is pretty good since it is coming all the way from Japan. If you want the Japanese release of Love Secrecy expect to pay around $30 after shipping in the U.S. You'd probablly get it about a week before the US version is released. Moon 2003. It is okay. It is essentially an acoustic version. My guess is that "corneilus" added the percussion. The guitar and vocals are obviously new recordings and are not rehashes from 85. I found the percussion to be a bit overwhelming at times. Also included on the cd is an instrumental of the same. Pure fluff on that. It will be interesting to see if a non-mix version of this track is released as a B-side at some point. My guess is that it will be. Some may find it boring, but I generally like it when Sting reinterrprets his own work. It is all about the tunes.....
