My disc is apparently a new variation?
STERLING & EDP stamped
SF1 Side 2 is stamped
Side A
M2 SF1 SM19 SPO 3730A EUR2 STERLING TJ EDP
Side B
M1 SF1 SM20 SPO 3730B EUR2 STERLING TJ EDP -
I have a variant of this that has EMW in the runouts on side 1 and a very similar runout on side 2 that indicates a Europadisk pressing (so an EMW/Europadisk split). I think it just needs to be added to the database. Any ideas? -
Direct comparison to original press England and Netherlands
https://discogs.programascracks.com/release/1090076-The-Police-Ghost-In-The-Machine :
Would be very difficult to tell the difference between these three - given all are using the Ted Jensen / Sterling lacquers. A NM copy of any should make you happy.
My US EDP pressing has very slightly smoother (duller?) top end, but that may be down to the playing history of each copy. -
Easily my best sounding Police record. I bought this on release and was fortunate to get a TJ cut version. With my system today, which is light years better than what I had in HS lol!! This record sounds excellent…great deep bass and instruments separated nicely. -
Really disappointed in the sound quality of my copy of this pressing. Maybe the worst in my collection. -
My Europadisk pressing is clean, flat, and sounds great. No complaints about this pressing.
-
This release sounds fantastic. Really brilliant and sharp. The mix is also very good, every instrument stands out the way it should. The music itself is mesmerizing, the style they achieved here is simply unique. In my opinion this is the most underrated Police album. -
