Limited Edition 180g 6LP Box Set!
Half-Speed Mastered at Abbey Road Studios!
Every Move You Make: The Studio Recordings is a six vinyl LP box set which
brings together The Police's entire recorded studio albums, as well as a
12-track sixth disc entitled Flexible Strategies, which contains exclusive bonus
material of non-album recordings and B-sides.
Re-mastered and cut onto 180-gram heavyweight vinyl at Abbey Road Studios by
Miles Showell, the world's leading exponent of half-speed mastering, this
limited-edition set celebrates the 40th anniversary of the multi-million selling
band's first album, Outlandos d'Amour. It also contains a special 24 page,
12"x12" photo book featuring rare and unseen images from the band's personal
archives housed in deluxe packaging of a hardcover box with lift-off lid.
The Police’s studio albums include - Outlandos d'Amour (1978), Reggatta de Blanc
(1979), Zenyatta Mondatta (1980), Ghost in the Machine (1981) and Synchronicity
(1983).
Formed in 1977, The Police are comprised of Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy
Summers. During their existence their contribution to the lexicon of rock was
immense. The originality of their music fused elements from both punk and reggae
to form a brilliant new style that can only be described as Music of the Police.
They exist within their own genre. Having sold in excess of 50 million albums
worldwide, The Police had phenomenal chart success and earned a multitude of
accolades both public and critical, but they never allowed such peripherals to
overshadow their commitment to the music itself. This collection features 14
U.K. and 18 U.S. Top 20 singles, including five U.K. and four U.S. single number
ones and four U.K. number one albums and a number one U.S album.
"The draw for these new editions is their hugely improved sound.
Re-mastered at Abbey Road Studios using a half-speed process, the five LPs that
The Police produced during their brief run together positively sparkle, with
sharp high-end that emphasizes drummer Stewart Copeland's intricate playing and
the tang of Andy Summers' guitar work. Things get even better when the band
started introducing synthesizers and other technology into the mix on their
final two albums Ghost In The Machine and the massively successful
Synchronicity. The set is rounded out by a sixth LP, featuring b-sides and
unused album cuts including the late period classics 'Murder By Number' and
'Someone To Talk To,' the latter of which featured a rare vocal turn by Summers.
These are fantastic upgrades for long standing fans of the group and a way for
newbies to snap up the discography in one fell swoop. Everybody wins." -
