The regular 12" album is a reprint.

-------->I have never heard of a 10" on black vinyl, so cant help you with that, 1500 copies for the black 12" one might be right, would not know.

Anyway, back to the Klark Kent.

I picked up my 10" album in London, England in approx 1989. My understanding was that the singles came on different colour vinyl - but that the album was issued on green vinyl. The first 1500 on black, and the rest on green vinyl. I don't know about the re-issues, but you say that they were 12" albums on the regular black vinyl, or were they on green vinyl too?

Anyway, I think you said the original black vinyl album is rare, with the original green next, and the re-issues coming well after that.

Someone has told me that you've accused me on your "list" of kicking you off the Police list, which is untrue. I told you that I *could* kick you off, but I didn't kick you off... I checked the log file and saw that you were removed automatically by SmartList (the mailer program) due to bounced mail. Since you didn't bother to contact me when that happened, the bounced messages are no longer in the bounce cache, otherwise I would be happy to forward them to you... I'm upset you would attack me in a semi-public forum without even getting the whole story...

Erwin Kempen: The apologize goes to Nathan of what I said, or did in my first issue. The reason that I was kicked off was smartlist, it was an easy problem which could have been solved within 2 minutes. By putting Nathan's mail in this message I hope I did something right and correct his name. I recieved the xmission mails again since September 4th,thanks!

The radio special about Sting in Italy was broadcasted a few months ago on: 105 Network "Night Express". The total length of this special was 40 minutes. I'm (almost) sure the first five songs (If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, Mad About You, Seven Days, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic and Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot) were all recorded during the Italian tour in May 1996. After these five songs a short interview with Sting was broadcasted. The last song of this special (It's Probably Me/ Sister Moon) was taken from the mini-album "Demoliton Man" (recorded live in Passariano "Villa Manin" on July 25 1993).


Latest US promo is "I'm so happy I can't stop crying". It is a two track promo in a fold open paper sleeve.


Vancouver TV broadcast has been cancelled, there will be an European show broadcasted probably early next year.

It depends on which country release you have of the single. In the States it was released with Shambelle on the B-side, in Canada also with "Shambell", but they misspelled it.

The U.K. release of "Every Little Thing" has "Flexible Strategies" on the B-side.

Great jam, don't you think. It was recorded and produced in 10 minutes !!!!

Lucky you ! I think it will probably be recorded in Canada, but maybe Mr. Freaks can help you out on this one. ;-)

Cheers,
