Review:
The first thing to note about the DTS version of Every Breath You Take – The Classics is that it’s not an entirely faithful port of the original 1995 A&M CD release. Two tracks have been omitted entirely from the DTS release – Don’t Stand So Close to Me ’86 and the new “classic rock mix” of Message in a Bottle (tracks 13 & 14 respectively on the original CD). But there’s one other important difference that may come as a surprise to fans. During The Police’s aborted 1986 attempt to reform for a sixth studio album, the original plan was to record entirely new material. But, egos and tensions within the band being what they were, Sting was less than enthusiastic about the project and had written no new songs. What’s more, Stewart Copeland arrived at the recording studio with a broken collar bone, the result of a polo accident. So the idea of a new album was abandoned and a decision was made to simply revisit a pair of tracks for a greatest hits release. The resulting tracks were disastrous by any measure (despite being a fascinating record of the final self-destruction of the band). The first of these (featuring Copeland on electronic drum machine) was the aforementioned Don’t Stand So Close to Me ’86. But the other track, which ultimately went unreleased, was De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da ’86. Unreleased until now that is, because that’s the version of the song that you’ll find on this DTS release.—-review by Bill Hunt

The Album Notes
Reggatta de Blanc is the second album by The Police, released in 1979. “Message in a Bottle”, a Sting-penned song about alienation, opens the album. It is followed by the mostly instrumental “Reggatta de Blanc”, (the title being a pseudo-French translation referring to the albums style of “white reggae”) one of the few songs written by all members of the Police. The instrumental piece came from the long instrumental break in the live performance of “Can’t Stand Losing You” and earned the band the 1981 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. “It’s Alright For You” is a driving punk-ish song featuring strong guitar and drum parts. The next three tracks, “Bring on the Night”, a song about the execution of Gary Gilmore, “Deathwish”, and “Walking on the Moon” all have a strong reggae feel to them. “On Any Other Day” features a rare lead vocal from Stewart Copeland, and is a humorous take on a middle-aged man’s mid-life crisis. “The Bed’s Too Big Without You” (later covered by reggae singer Sheila Hylton in 1981, which became a UK chart hit), “Contact” and “Does Everyone Stare” are three songs dealing with the connection, or lack thereof, between two individuals. The hectic “No Time This Time” closes the album.
The album took only a few weeks (spaced over several months) to record, but unlike its successor Zenyatta Mondatta, there was no pressure on the band. As Stewart Copeland describes it, “We just went into the studio and said, ‘Right, who’s got the first song?’ We hadn’t even rehearsed them before we went in.”
The album continued to build on the success of the band’s previous record, Outlandos D’Amour, hitting #1 on the UK and Australian album charts upon its release in October 1979. “Message in a Bottle” and “Walking on the Moon” were released as singles and both reached #1 in Great Britain. It is the favorite Police album of Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. In 2003, the album was ranked number 369 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
