The Police - still fresh, 40 years on

We sometimes forget just how talented The Police - Sting, Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers - actually were. They arrived in the late-70's, merging elements of Reggae, New Wave & Punk.  Their sound -  simple, lean (bass, drums, guitar), well-produced - still sounds fresh, with songs like “Roxanne”, “Message in a Bottle”, and “Walking on the Moon”. We saw them live at the Hordern Pavilion back in 1980, in the days before digital light shows, when every single light can had a specific purpose – and what a show it was! Our "Album You Must Hear Before you Die" is Frank Sinatra’s “In the Wee Small Hours”, a classic from the early LP era.  Sinatra is a master, and a joy to listen to. The man himself was certain that many baby boomers were conceived to the sound of this album.  Jeff tells us more about Mr Beast, and digital sampling of Beavis and Butt-Head. It’s almost too much for one episode!!
