Originally released in October 1981, the fourth studio album by The Police was no. 1 in the UK album chart and a multi-platinum best seller. It features three hit singles – Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Invisible Sun and Spirits in the Material World. Their jazz influences became more pronounced, but the album had a very strong, sophisticated pop appeal, in the song-writing talents of Sting. Highlights also include the vicious jazz-rocker Demolition Man (later covered by Grace Jones) the frantic Rehumanize Yourself, and a pair of album-closing ballads – Secret Journey and Darkness.

LP+ - Stunning limited edition picture disc, featuring alternate, ‘original’ track-listing and sequencing, that was initially selected for release (a production master was created), but was changed at the last minute.

Includes three additional tracks not featured on the 1981 album – I Burn For You (the single mix of the track from the Brimstone and Treacle album), Once Upon A Daydream and Shambelle.

To add to the unique nature of this release, and reflecting the idiosyncrasies of the band, four tracks (Spirits In The Material World, Rehumanize Yourself , One World (Not Three) and Hungry For You…) all include Stewart counting in the tracks, again not featured on the 1981 release!
