Hi,

If this message comes much later than the discussion began, it's because I still can't receive individual emails from this list, despite having selected that option when I signed up. Anyway, I've also been wishing some magazine would do a special edition on The Police and their various solo efforts, but I don't think it's likely. Generally my impression is that for some reason, they don't get the same level of interest or respect in specialist magazines as other comparable acts, so I suspect we may have to content ourselves with the odd article. The closest thing I can think of is the big feature Uncut magazine did a couple of years ago about the band and its disintegration, and if you don't already have that, I'd recommend contacting their back issues dept. as it makes for very interesting reading.

About bodyguards, well, sometime it comes from the venue or the promoter of
the night, they decide about.
Sting usually doesn't have bodyguards in fact.

Hi there
Today I've added some tracks on the Listing Player (3 gems of the last Ghost
in the Machine Tour, and a never heard demo version of Sting's "We'll be
together").
You can listen to 18 rare songs, great live versions or unreleased tracks.
If you have request for other songs to put there, you can send an Email.

I open a little contest for this occasion
Go to Listing website : http://listing.free.fr
In the "Game" section, try the quizz.
If you manage to complete the three levels, you'll reach something...
Tell me what it is, and if you are in the first three to Email me, I offer
you a copy of the show you want from my list...
Don't waste a minute !

Listing

How cool would it be if Mojo/Q or uncut magazines gave
The Police and Sting the special magazine treatment.
I buy these all the time as they are great collections
of pictures and interviews, and stories on on single
artists or movements.  I think they are generally
called Special Editions.  Anyway, I just got one of
the Clash and there has been some on major artists
like Bowie, Zep, Beatles, oasis, Clapton, Springsteen,
Neil Young, etc.  Why do I get the feeling there is no
chance one on Police and Sting will be coming out.
Now admittedly there probably needs to be a new
material tie-in - like Springsteens 30th anniv born to
run etc.  Although the Clash magazine edition one just
came out this month and I havent seen any new product
for them in about a year or so.

Anyone else see these special edition magazines by
Uncut/Mojo etc..

IN Starbucks they often play a cover of this song by a Merrie Amsterburg
.  Really quite lovely.

Hi !

Before I spend too much money on this:

would anybody be interested (the slightest bit) in a website which analyzes
the POLICE's UK singles?

I would like to invest some time and money to build such a website. I  intend
to show all the different aspects Jörg Zimmermann already listed in his  book
TRUTH HITS EVERYBODY. Plus coloured pictures! This would mean a site for
nerds: showing label differences, different sleeves, small or large or press out
center holes and other veeery important stuff.

If it's fun and not too expensive this could continue by showing other rare
records from around the world - or tickets and other memorabilia...

Please send me a mail if you would consider looking at such a site every  now
and then...

thanks,
Dietmar

Ciao everybody from Giovanni in Milano.

Finally it will see the light at the beginning of the year, but by now only for THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL credited people. You can read a simple report at this link
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/film/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001572648
but you can read a lot more on the forum at
www.stewartcopeland.net where Stewart asked all of us to suggest a name for the movie.
You can easily spot Stewart messages as he logs in under the name STEWART (I can confirm that's THE STEWART WE ALL KNOW).
So join the forum as Stewart likes to interacte with fans and writes a lot of messages, and OF COURSE, reads all of yours.

We can finally say that soon we will have the chance to witness one of the GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME FOR POLICE FANS.
Ciao ciao
                Giovanni
