Police,The Police/Germany 1980 & more

The historically famous professional shots from the “REGGATTA DE BLANC” and “ZENYATTA MONDATTA” eras have been revived with the highest quality. This work contains the “Hamburg performance on January 11, 1980” and the “Essen performance on October 18, 1980”. Each is a two-disc set with one disc each. Both are multi-camera professional shots from an appearance on the West German specialty program “ROCKPALAST”. Although these are traditionally known images, this work contains the highest version of them. The quality is certainly excellent. There are no noise or dubbing marks, and the coloring of the time itself is extremely vivid. Even so, the Essen performance (Disc 2) has a sweet air check, but the Hamburg performance (Disc 1) is an official-class image that is more than beautiful even when viewed with the eyes of today’s digital heyday. The two performances depicted with such quality are dazzling with the youthful THE POLICE. Both were released in 1980, just nine months apart, but the content is completely different. Here is a simple summary of the schedule at that time. “REGGATTA DE BLANC” released in October 1979: August-December 1979: Europe #1/North America #1 (61 performances) December 1979-January 1980: Europe #2 (16 performances) ← [Disc 1] January-February 1980: North America #2 (14 performances) February 1980: Japan #1 (6 performances) February-September 1980: China/Oceania #1/Europe #3 (44 performances) “ZENYATTA Release of “MONDATTA” October 1980: Europe #4 (3 performances) ← [Disc 2] October 1980-January 1981: North America #3/South America/Europe #5 (44 performances) January-February 1981: Japan #2 (10 performances) February 1981: Oceania #2 (10 performances) It’s pretty condensed, but I think you can imagine the outline of this era. Disc 1 of this work is the “REGGATTA DE BLANC TOUR”, just one month before the legendary first visit to Japan. Disc 2 is the show just after the release of “ZENYATTA MONDATTA”, three months before the second visit to Japan. Therefore, Disc 1 is a set that compresses and fuses “OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR” and “REGGATTA DE BLANC”, and Disc 2 features the new work “ZENYATTA MONDATTA”. Of course, there are some duplications of the expected numbers, but this two-disc set features 20 professional shots out of the 32 songs from the first three albums. Moreover, the performance is the band’s potential that produced the masterpiece, and it can be said to be the two performances in Japan. THE POLICE itself, which was running without a break at the time, is packed with the highest quality. The set list is like a video of the first three albums, the performance is like a revival of the legendary performance in Japan, and the perfect quality that can only be found in a famous program. This is a luxurious set that brings together the “strongest and best” professional shots of THE POLICE at once. The basics of the basics are also the goal to reach at the end. Ultimately delicious and thoroughly decisive. Please enjoy to your heart’s content.
