I just saw a few seconds Police
performance on the morning news.
And because Andy was going to play the
reissue guitar I paid extra attention to Andy’s guitar sound.
I’d have to agree with Dietmar that it
didn’t have the bite like the original.
On the other hand… Times and
technique have changed.
After such a long time you can’t
expect exactly the same.
They seemed quite happy. Give them a
break.
Some interesting articles on Andy’s
guitar…
Stewart mentions that the original is not
longer playable.

I'll give you that -- it is common that
tenors tend to "over-pitch", and I think it is something that Sting
does on occasion. But it is much easier to listen to the
"over-pitch" than to listen to the flat singing, and he is correct to
sing 'higher' than needed. If you are singer (which I am) the
one thing we know is that we almost never sing a perfect song. For
goodness sake, a sound engineer? Nothing is ever perfect, is it?? And I
mean that in the nicest way, since we as singers want someone on the other end
to help us sound more perfect than we are.
