speaking of not getting things...has anyone who signed up for the fan club premium membership received the famous CD-ROM yet? It's coming up on a year now, and no sign of it coming through my mailbox. Ed

DVD & off-topic trip to the UK
by Anne 26 May '04

26 May '04

Hello! I'm delurking to weigh in on this DVD issue. What can be done to make this a reality? I missed out on buying Police Around the World back in the '80's (a move I very much regret now), so this looks to have the potential to fill this hole in my life :-) Off topic, I've just today booked my first ever trip to the UK for this September. To say that I'm over the moon would be an understatement. Would anyone out there have any must-see London attractions or Police-related landmarks to visit? I'll be fortunate enough to visit Oxford, York, Hadrian's Wall (that Sting's teacher had told them about the Romans building...), Edinburgh, Glasgow, Loch Ness, and Liverpool. Any advice is welcome -- please feel free to e-mail me privately. Thanks! Anne Halifax, Nova Scotia

After reading Rich's post, it looks like that's the only way we'll get one, that or the man becomes destitute paying all of his mortgages. What can it hurt him? It's just more $$$ for him and more attention. We know he loves the attention!

Let me preface this by saying that I would LOVE to see the release of some Police DVDs, Live albums of old tours... pretty much whatever. I would kill for some new material from them. I would be first in line to snap it all up. That said, I believe it was Marlon Brando (but maybe not... I don't know - could have been Russel Crowe for all I know) who said "The only thing that I owe the public is a good performance." Discussion? I think Sting has certainly given the world a whole bunch of great performances over the years, both recoreded and live. He's certainly held up that end of the bargain, in my mind. Perhaps he's just getting too old and comfortable to want to deal with the "early days" any more? (Not that I necesarily agree with this, mind you... I would love to see some new stuff. Or even a new album from him that could stand up to his earlier work.) What does everyone else think? Does he actually "owe" the world what we want? Or is it legitamately up to him to decide what he does? -Tim >>> <DtmrCls(a)aol.com> 05/25/04 10:21PM >>> We are the people who bought THE POLICE's records and made Sting and the others rich. He chose this life in the public before cameras and the press to become famous. He should repay us by releasing the stuff WE want and not the Sacred Shit HE does - for once.
