The Police - Unsynced- An Alternate Version of Synchronicity (1983) (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

Here's an alternate version of the blockbuster 1983 album by the Police, "Syncronicity." This was one of the best selling albums of the era. It also wound up fairly high on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the top 500 albums of all time.

Guest poster Mike Solof recently got himself the 6 CD super deluxe edition of the album, which was released in 2024. It has some less interesting stuff on it, as well as a full concert from that time period. Mike boiled down the best studio outtakes to one album, which he presents here. Please read his PDF included in the download zip for more information, plus lots of photos.

This album is an hour and seven minutes long.

The cover image was found by Mike. It's from some photo shoot the Police did around the time of the release of the Syncronicity album. A couple of the photos made it onto the artwork for singles related to the album.
