“OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR” The big standard video that symbolizes the era is an upgrade. The supreme visual beauty of the latest digital rebroadcast will be released on DVD.
Recorded in the symbolic video is “February 21, 1979, University of Hertfordshire”. It is a multi-camera pro shot taken for the prestigious BBC program “Rock Goes To College”. Speaking of “Rock Goes To College”, it is a classic classic that has been rebroadcast many times as a representative video of the time. It has always been very popular in our shop as a gift title. This work is the highest peak update version. Just the other day, it is the latest version that was just digitally rebroadcast.
“Before the interesting quality, let’s start with an overview of the show.” This program focuses on up-and-coming bands, and is held on the premise of broadcasting in a small venue such as a university auditorium. Tickets were sometimes distributed free of charge to the student union, making them a powerful ally for young musicians. And in 1979, THE POLICE at the time of his debut also appeared.
Also, speaking of early THE POLICE professional shots, our shop is known for gift editions such as “DON KIRSHNER’S ROCK CONCERT 1980” and “ROCKPALAST 1980” as a great staple. It is also a good opportunity, so let’s organize the positions of the 3 programs (4 performances) that reign as the early standard professional shots.

This is THE POLICE in 1979/1980. DKRC in the United States / ROCKPALAST in West Germany was a video after “REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour”, but this work was about a year ago. It is a professional shot where you can see plenty of youthful three people.
“Well, let’s get down to business.”
This video has been upgraded many times, and our gift board has been praised as “completely official!” If you have experienced it, you may think, “How will it get better than that?”, But this new master is definitely up. When played side by side with the conventional version, both are official grade, but if you look closely, the new master has further improved resolution. For example, Sting’s Zoom. In the past, the master’s face was smooth as if he had applied foundation, but in this work, even the texture of the skin is clear. Even if it is a costume, you can understand the texture of work clothes.
“Isn’t it easier to understand violent actions?” The block noise that occurred in the previous version is greatly reduced. No, even in the previous version, it was sufficiently small, but it is smoother. Can I say that the upgrade feeling this time is “official remastering feeling”? Although I was not dissatisfied with the previous version, it creates and provides a higher dimension. If the previous work was “completely official class”, this work is a pursuit of beauty that should be called “official remaster class”.
The familiar “Outlands d’Amour seen with your eyes” is depicted with such outstanding visual beauty. As you probably already know if you have noticed this article, here we will organize the set while comparing it with “DON KIRSHNER’S ROCK CONCERT 1980”, which is the closest broadcast scale / time among the professional shot trilogy. let’s go
● Outlands Damour
・So Lonely (★)/Hole in My Life (★)/Truth Hits Everybody (★)/Peanuts (★)/Roxanne/Next To You
●Others
・Can’t Stand Losing You/Regatta De Blanc/Fall Out (★)/Message In A Bottle
*Note: “★” marks are songs that cannot be seen in “DON KIRSHNER’S ROCK CONCERT 1980”.
As you may have already noticed, this show is also familiar with the live album press masterpiece “HATFIELD 1979: BBC TRANSCRIPTION LP (Wardour-534)”. The live album version played “Can’t Stand Losing You” again at the end, but the TV broadcast version ended with “Next To You”.
If the press masterpiece “HATFIELD 1979” is the highest peak of the FM broadcast version, this work is the “top” of the TV broadcast version. That is the symbolic image of the early THE POLICE that should be called along with the studio work “OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR”. Yes, please enjoy the latest broadcast version that updates the highest peak.
* Multi-camera pro shot of “February 21, 1979 University of Hertfordshire”. It is a large classic “Rock Goes To College” video, but its latest digital rebroadcast version. Although it was a complete official grade from the past, a further upgrade has been realized this time. Even the texture of Sting’s skin and the texture of the costumes are clear, and there is almost no block noise even in intense action. You can enjoy a young stage that will be “OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR to see with your eyes” with the highest quality update.
