Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there's the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "obi" ("oh-bee"), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album's release date. Tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi's are collectable, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we've mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100's of dollars apiece Detailed item info Album Features Artist: The Police Format: CD Release Year: 2007 Record Label: Universal Distribution Genre: New Wave, Rock & Pop Track Listing 1.

Darkness Details Contributing Artists: Jean Roussel Distributor: MSI Music Distribution Recording Type: Studio Recording Mode: Stereo SPAR Code: n/a Album Notes The Police: Sting (vocals, keyboards, bass); Andy Summers (guitar); Stewart Copeland (drums).Additional personnel: Jean Roussel (keyboards).Recorded at AIR Studios, Montserrat.In the wake of ZENYATTA MONDATTA's massive success, the Police edged even further away from their earlier reggae leanings, but instead of moving into the mainstream, they continued experimenting with sophisticated textures and exotic rhythms. Sure, there's the archetypal hummable pop hit, which Sting manages to throw in with virtually every album (here it's the romantic, frothy "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,") but there's more darkness here, both musical and lyrical, than on any previous Police recording. Sting picks up on the social-consciousness thread of ZENYATTA's "Driven to Tears" on several tunes here. From the bleak "Invisible Sun" to the rage-against-the-machine sentiments of "Too Much Information and "Rehumanize Yourself," the lyrics speak of the soul's inability to keep pace with advancing technology and all its pitfalls. It's not all gloom and doom, though, as the propulsive, funky "Demolition Man" and "Hungry for You" attest. FOR YOUR TURNTABLE GHOST IN THE MACHINE - Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 323/500! Originally released in October 1981, the fourth studio album by The Police, Ghost In the Machine, was no. 1 in the UK album chart and a multi-platinum best seller. It features three hit singles "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic", "Invisible Sun" and "Spirits In The Material World". Their jazz influences became more pronounced, but the album had a very strong, sophisticated pop appeal, in the song-writing talents of Sting. Highlights also include the vicious jazz-rocker "Demolition Man" (later covered by Grace Jones). Features 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE Vinyl Made in Germany/ NETHERLANDS The double platinum Ghost In The Machine in 1981 went to No. 2 U.S. (once more #1 U.K.) as "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" went Top 10 and "Spirits In The Material World" was No. 11.
