The Police CD and tour

I grew up in the 70's and 80's. A time when MTV was just barely finding its footing in the world of music and bands like the Police were dominating the airwaves. Songs such as Spirits in the Material World and Every Breath You Take were played over and over, the lyrics memorized and the songs sung along to.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the band's release of Roxanne, the single that is responsible for their being picked up for a record deal with A&M Records. Released in April 1978, Roxanne was only the start.

Now, 30 years later, their music is still widely popular and the recent release of the police cd has brought together 28 of their songs into a CD collection that anyone that loves their music is going to want. I know I want it.

Songs on the 2 disk CD set are:

One of the reasons that I would love to get a copy of the police cd is the complaint that I have about their tour. They're not coming to Alaska. ::pouts:: Why is it that none of the bands I love ever seem to think to make Anchorage Alaska a stopover on their tours? I can't afford to make the trip to where they are, I'd love to, but airfare is over $1,000.00 and then you have to add in things like hotel and food and transportation and concert tickets... being a full-time caregiver I just don't have that kind of money (or time). So I need a Police CD.
