Sting and Stewart Copeland In The Studio For Synchronicity Anniversary

Stewart Copeland and Sting are the special guests for the latest episode of the syndicated radio show In the Studio, which is celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Police's blockbuster album "Synchronicity."

The show's host Redbeard had this to say, "You could debate whether the first four Police albums warranted booking them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but this fact is certain: Synchronicity was so massively appealing that millions purchased it as well as the preceding four Police albums in numbers great enough to place all five on the 1983 sales chart simultaneously at year's end!

"Formed in 1977 London at the height of the punk rock scene, the reggae influences so prominent on the first four albums had been diluted by the time of Synchronicity's June 1983 release, so The Police were not handcuffed by the musical conventions of either punk or reggae on mega-hits 'Every Breath You Take', 'King of Pain', 'Wrapped Around Your Finger', and the title song."
