I got those last night. I was pretty stoked STILL b/c I had never seen them live before but, the first time this past August. So, I treated myself to those and I'm looking forward to receiving/hearing them.

Does anyone already own them & are they worth the $ or what? What's your favorite track?

Never did like The Police and as for Sting ...

Awwwwww come on C, some of The Police stuff is OK. Sting solo was a twat I agree.

I think The Police are terribly overrated and Sting's solo stuff is unbearable. People saying Stewart Copeland is an amazing drummer have never seen Pete in action. No comparison.

But to answer your last question I do like "So Lonely"

I love the song "King of Pain." I think The Police were a good band.

Exactly! I keep telling a drummer friend of mine that who thinks Stewart Copeland is God. He also came across as an insufferable twit when he was on Jonesy's Jukebox.

I wish I could get that in (Joney's Jukebox). Is it Internet-live-streamed? I mean, from one punk to another....this HAS to be fullfilled. lol :)

Anyway, I'm pretty stoked about getting the box sets & Pete & 2 of my other friends are envious. Yet, I did get Pete volumes 1 & 2 of the Beatles Capitol records. (he REALLY wanted that)

Long live The Police!!!! Sychronicity II has to be my favorite song of theirs, if I'm all honest.

Seems to me, purchasing the second one would make purchasing the first sort of foolish. "Complete Recordings" indicates it might just be inclusive of the material on the other release

Hey, guess I'm foolish then. I just know that I can't wait to listen to them.

They had some good stuff and I like Andy Summers guitar style. (did you know he is frickin 64 years old now???) I'm not a real big fan of vocalists with high voices in general though so they really aren't my proverbial bag.

Seriously, wow....

Ok, I'm laying it all out now.... I never seen them ever until this past August, and that was for the reunion tour sponsored by Best Buy. However, that night totally changed my tune, so to say on them. I am glad that Sting wasn't too egotistical or political. They just rocked, enjoyed themselves, and played the freaking music that made us fans incredibly happy.

Their light show for Roxanne was incredible w/ all of the red lights. Hearing Sychronicity II live was just plain awesome for me.

That's why I have had that "change" almost orgasmic-like on them. Tantric, huh?

Sting is a twat.Avoid at all costs.He thought he was cool singing 'crotch' in Synchronicity.Biggest pansy of a geordie ever.He now likes stiffies that last sixteen hours.Christ I hate that man.

With a small amount of effort, you could make that post into a great haiku

Hey,

I received the 2-CD box set in the mail on Saturday. OMG, it's pretty awesome. I mean, now I know what my Aunt feels (a bit) concerning her love for them.

Inside of it too, it has a poster w/ one of their gigs listed. It is just cool (well, in my eyes).

I was glad to see that Canary in a Coalmine was in the set as was Sychronicity I & II. :) II, is my favorite song of theirs ever though.
