Over the years A&M Records released many great artists and also pioneered many unusual releases. In 1980 the label released the “infamous” Police Badge. This was a 45-rpm vinyl record shaped like a police badge. The disc contains the original version of “Message in A Bottle” on one side, and a live version of “Message in A Bottle” on the other side. This is a 45-rpm single shaped like a 6-star badge, and packaged in a special 9 1/2” x 12” sleeve. This disc is marked "used" ONLY because it does not have a shrink-wrap. It is in excellent condition.
