180g Vinyl LP Reissue Remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell

The success of Reggatta de Blanc saw The Police touring at breakneck speed. Early 1980 found them returning to the States for the third time in 12 months before broadening their horizons with trips to Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Bombay, Eqypt and Europe. Everywhere, it seemed, loved The Police. It was an exhausted band that finally wrapped up these dates in April 1980 – Sting’s voice had finally given up on him and a break was needed. Still, only two short months later, the band reconvened in Hilversum, Holland at the Wisseloord Studios. In hindsight, the band realized it was too soon, and they were back in the studio for the wrong reasons.
