Police – Synchronicity 4LP Box Set

The Police – Synchronicity

40th anniversary edition of The Police's final album, ‘Synchronicity’ - the first major archival project from the Police.

This expanded edition of ‘Synchronicity’ features remastered versions of the original 10 tracks (remastered at Abbey Road Studios) + a plethora of previously unreleased material. Also included is a booklet with new liner notes, interviews, rare archive memorabilia and previously unseen photos.

"Synchronicity," released by The Police on June 17, 1983, is a landmark album that represents the pinnacle of the band's creative achievements. It was their biggest commercical succes. But it also ended up being their last studio output due to internal disagreements among band members. Today it's often regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time.

The album includes some of The Police's most iconic tracks, such as "Every Breath You Take," which won Song of the Year at the 1984 Grammy Awards and has become an evergreen in pop/rock in the decades after it was released.
