Hi Everyone! My husband subscribes to Acoustic Guitar Magazine, and Andy is the cover story!
Thanks for the heads up -
"Police songs have been covered by everyone from Alanis Morrisette and Anthrax to UB40 and frank Zappa. 'Recently I got this album, Policia,' But there's a version of EBYT on there (by an English band called, ironically, Copeland) that is really fantastic. They do it slowly, like a ballad, and they've completely reharmonized it. It's a knockout. I might actually write to these guys and say congratulations.'" Has anyone heard this cover? Sounds intriguing!
Reading this I went to iTunes - this version is not there but there are about 40 other versions of EBYT including one by - are you sitting down? - Jack Jones! To anyone who complains about how laid back or mellow Sting is now, at least he's no Jack Jones! Oy! thought I would like UB40's version - never saw 50 Date movie - but from the little blurb, no, don't think so - LOVED their remake of Elvis's Can't Help Falling in Love. BUT thanks to myspace - http://www.myspace.com/policia - when you go there EBYT plays!
Have a great week! Holly
you too! and everyone else! Paula
