The Police's 'Synchronicity' Expanded Release Coming In July

 

Four decades after it first came out, The Police Synchronicity, will see a reissue in multiple formats, including a six-disc Limited Edition Deluxe box set with 55 previously unreleased tracks, new liner notes and interviews, rare archive memorabilia and unseen photographs. 

Synchronicity hit No.1 around the world, selling over 15 million globally (8.5 million sales of which were from the US alone). The No.1 hit single “Every Breath You Take” would go on to be the most played song in radio history, with more than 15 million plays.

The album won three Grammys in 1984 for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Song of the Year (“Every Breath You Take”), and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. 

 

This reissue has been three years in the making, created with the band’s involvement and endorsement. The accompanying 62-page boxset booklet contains extensive new liner notes written by acclaimed music journalist Jason Draper, who details the conception and infamous birth of arguably The Police’s masterpiece.

Over 40 years on, all three members of the band continue to mark the legacy of The Police: Stewart Copeland published his Police Diaries and toured the world with his Police Deranged concerts. In October and November, he'll perform across the UK with his new spoken-word show Have I said Too Much?; Andy Summers has published several photography books focusing on the Police era. He is currently touring his Cracked Lens + A Missing String show across the US; and Sting continues to tour extensively: his current US and European Tour runs throughout 2024 and features many Police songs among his solo work.
