Thanks! :) Maybe the reason last.fm lists it under Polydor is that they already had a listing for the Greatest Hits thing, and so their system assumed that any other Police music must be from the same label.
Oh well, it's a reminder that I need to increase my bootleg collection.

Hope this works, since I just changed my subscription details. Anyway, I was looking at last.fm and noticed that The Police were in the Top Ten most listened to bands. This gladdened my heart, but also puzzled me, because when I clicked the link, I found two albums listed: Greatest Hits, and this one:
http://www.last.fm/music/The%20Police/Live%20In%20Paris
Last.fm is, as far as I can tell, a site which keeps its finger on the pulse of what people are listening to by analysing their i-Tunes playlists. So I thought that perhaps somebody had just ripped a bootleg album to their hard-drive and uploaded the cover picture.
But then I noticed that the album is listed as being on the Polydor label. The Greatest Hits compilation is listed under Polygram International. I'm guessing Polygram owns A&M, or maybe distributes their artists' CDs or something, but what I don't get is why I haven't heard of this live CD before if it's an official album. The only official live Police album to my knowledge is the double CD from 1995, featuring one concert from Boston and one from Atlanta - this "new" one is supposed to have been recorded in Paris, and the tracklisting indicates that it was from the Zenyatta tour.
Theories?
Angeline
