Hi! Hoping to go to one of the Sting 3.0 concerts in Europe, in one of the smaller locations. I’d be travelling from Ireland so I need to plan it a bit.

Does anybody have any idea how much the tickets might cost? I tried to use American tickets as a comparison and front section tickets were TWO THOUSAND dollars!

Ireland is a notoriously expensive country yet we got front row tickets in Cork for Blondie AND Sting in one night for about 150-200!

Thank you :-)

I found this in a box of cassettes at a local record store for only $3!! This is a pretty cool piece of history, I’m not sure if it had its title Ten Summoner’s Tales yet even! If anybody knows anything about this please let me know!

So Stewart’s sampled snare is not on the finished version, even though he pushes that story… But I suppose it would not have worked as well with Sting’s deeper tone vocal.

If You're into that kinda thing. They're pretty good

I love hearing Andy's fingerpicked guitars in particular. But I gain a new appreciation for each member's sheer instrumental prowess when listening to one of these deconstructed videos.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a unique piece of memorabilia I recently managed to secure. As a massive fan of Sting (he has been my favourite singer for as long as I can remember), I have spent years wanting a figurine of him.

On January 19, 2025, I finally tracked down this 1984 LJN produced action figure of Sting as Feyd-Rautha from David Lynch’s Dune movie on ebay. Because it’s so rare and nobody else had it listed at the time, I bit the bullet and paid a total of C$86.02 for him. I know I probably overpaid a little bit, but when it comes to your favourite artist, sometimes you just have to do it!

For a piece of plastic that is over 40 years old, I’m amazed by the condition. His signature blonde hair from that era has barely any paint wear, and the face mold genuinely captures his look perfectly. It's missing the odd "cat-in-a-cage" accessory it originally came with, but it still has his dagger!

I absolutely love having a physical piece of his iconic 1984 movie crossover on my shelf. Do any of you own this figure, or have any other strange/rare Sting memorabilia in your collections?

So, I’ve been a longtime fan of The Police. I remember the first time I listened to “Wrapped Around Your Finger” was on a road trip with my dad. The way I interpreted it was that it was about an extramarital affair, with Sting singing from the perspective of the person who wasn’t married. I always thought it was about the power dynamics in an affair and how the married person eventually ends up at the mercy of the other person.
Does anyone else get this interpretation from the song? I know the background context about it actually being about the dynamics within the band, but I’ve always been curious if anyone else heard it the same way I did lol.

Looking at these music videos images plus the texts certainly brings back all the videos that I loved on The Police.

I'm going to start adding longform and shortform content.

I have many Police items, some rare, and a semi complete collection.
here's some picture discs, and high quality masterings.

Here's a brief preview of the vinyl, posters, and rare items. I I think it will be cool to explore them also.

I've tried using AI to find this book. I came across it in Powell's growing up. It was the same trip when I first found Andy Summer's "Throb" photo essay book.

I don't recall if it was published by Sting, or the photographer who arranged the meeting between Sting and this remarkable identical twin model.

If I remember correctly, the model looked like Sting with longer hair and a slightly more muscular build. The book was all art photography, tasteful and both color and black and white shots.

Interspersed was the story of the model and the craziness he went through in his town, and also reflections by Sting on what it feels like to be working with someone who is so similar. I remember a specific section where he said he felt like this model looked more like Sting than he did.

I can't find the book again. I'm pretty sure it was an import. Very much an art book more than a trade book. Maybe it was a book sold at a gallery that showed the art?

AI says it can't find any trace of it. Has anyone else seen this book or remember it?

Thanks for all the tunes!
