Every breath you take: Police coming back for tour

Just in case you missed the massive publicity onslaught recently, the band "The Police" is making a comeback. Frankly, I'm really not all that big of a fan since most of what they did was before or shortly after I was born. Before my time as it were.

They released a new CD on the 5th of June 2007 and it's got a pretty cool looking "vintage" The Police poster packaged with it. From what it looks like, it's a compilation of their greatest hits. Which makes me wonder. Did they really need to go back on tour for it? I suppose that it makes some sense as they do have some rather rabid fans in some parts of the world. Gives those fans a pretty good reason to get out to a concert and enjoy themselves.

The Police certainly do have some good music. Like I said, a little before my time, but still good none the less.

Here's the new commercial for the CD and tour that they are running on the TV in the UK.

Not bad. Makes a guy want to rush down to the nearest CD store and buy a copy. Of course, that would be if I had a local CD store. Around here, it's Amazon or bust.

Of course, the funny bit is that the record company or PR company or whomever is running this publicity blitz for The Police has fully embraced the blogosphere. Otherwise, I wouldn't be getting paid to write this article and post that commercial. The funny thing is, even though they seem to be up with the times, they sure don't seem willing to share and share alike. Where's the free tracks for download? Where's the free CD for download. They could do twice as many concerts to make up for the lost sales and still come out ahead.

Enough of that rambling though. Go out and check out The Police CD and maybe catch a concert or two. It very well may be the last opportunity you get to seem them live. Of course, they could end up like the Rolling Stones and tour for another 20 or so years.
