THE POLICE in 1979 swept the world while producing “Reggatta de Blanc”. Introducing a soundboard album that symbolizes them in the early days. It will be released on a press CD that permanently preserves the highest peak update master that has the best sound but no beep!
I think there are many people who suddenly say “beep? What are you talking about?”, So let’s start with the explanation. “May 25, 1979 Chicago performance” is engraved in this work. It is the superb stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of 1979, it is remembered as “the year when we broke through with Reggatta de Blanc”, but before and after that, we had a lot of live performances. Depending on the time, “OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR Tour” and “REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour” were also made. First, let’s look back on the schedule at that time and confirm the position of the show.

“OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR Tour”
・ January 9-February 21: Europe # 1 (24 performances)
・ March 1st-April 9th: North America # 1 (30 performances)
・ April 12-25: Europe # 2 (3 performances)
・ April 27-May 25: North America # 2 (23 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
・ May 31st-June 24th: Europe # 3 (22 performances)
“REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour”
・ August 17-September 23: Europe # 4 (17 performances)
・ September 27-30: North America # 3a (4 performances)
“October 2” Reggatta de Blanc “released”
・ October 2nd-December 1st: North America # 3b (41 performances) ← * Official LIVE!
・ December 3-22: Europe # 5 (15 performances)

This is THE POLICE in 1979. “Reggatta de Blanc” was produced from February to August 1979, and when it was completed (without waiting for its release), it was changed to “REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour”. The Boston performance officially announced in “LIVE!” Was “REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour”, but the Chicago performance of this work is “OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR Tour”. It was the last day of “North America # 2”.
Such a show was broadcast on the radio, and its FM sound board has reigned as a long-standing staple. This work is a new masterpiece that updates the highest peak. Its true identity is the pre-FM master handed over from an overseas THE POLICE researcher. You can enjoy the young THE POLICE with a completely official-grade sound that does not go through radio waves and does not deteriorate. That is a transcendental live album that is no less than half a step even if you listen to it side by side with the official version “LIVE!”.
There may be some people who say, “Pre-FM is already on the market.” However, this work is similar and different. If you’ve experienced the already-occurring group, you know that “Born in the 50’s” on this broadcast is covered with a beeping sound, but this new master doesn’t have this. Since the DJ program intro / outro is also mixed, it is certain that it is broadcast editing, but the editing stage may be different. In any case, not only the sound quality is official, but it is the ultimate piece that is “completely official” to the degree of perfection as a musical work.
The perfect quality is drawn with the hot and burning “OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR Tour”. As mentioned above, there can be no rival of this work other than the official version “LIVE!”. Let’s organize by comparing at the end.

● Outlandos d’Amour
・ Can’t Stand Losing You (★) ／ Truth Hits Everybody ／ So Lonely ／ Born In The 50’s ／ Hole in My Life ／ Be My Girl—Sally ／ Peanuts ／ Roxanne ／ Next to You
● Others
・ Single: Fall Out / Landlord
・ Reggatta de Blanc, etc .: Message in a Bottle / Can’t Stand Losin’You (incl. Reggatta de Blanc)
* Note: “★” marks are songs that cannot be heard on the official version “LIVE!”.

The official work “LIVE!” Was a two-disc set that set “REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour” and “SYNCHRONICITY Tour”, but this work is “the OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR Tour version”. A live album that is a semi-official work that does not even beep, which I knew only because I was a researcher enthusiast. This is the correct and absolute board. Enjoy it anytime, forever with a press CD that will never lose its ultimate quality brilliance!

★ Superb stereo soundboard recording of “May 25, 1979 Chicago performance”. Despite being a standard FM broadcast, this work is a pre-FM master of the highest quality provided by overseas researchers. Not only is it not inferior to the genuine official work “LIVE!”, But there is no “beep” of “Born in the 50’s” that was destined until now. This is a semi-official absolute version that will be the “OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR Tour version of the official version LIVE!”.

★★ A masterpiece live where you can listen to awesome performances on the best sound board. Highly recommended.
