The Police Announce Synchronicity 40th Anniversary Box Set With Previously Unreleased Tracks
The Police’s final albumSynchronicity is getting the deluxe anniversary box set treatment for its 40th anniversary. It’ll include a bunch of previously unreleased tracks — a rarity for the band, who haven’t put out a lot of early versions. The most exhaustive 4xLP will feature a remastered version of the original album, a collection of contemporaneous B-sides and bonus tracks, and two discs worth of unreleased alternate takes, outtakes, and instrumentals.
The set will also come with a “60-page, lavish color book featuring unseen material, new liner notes and interviews, archive memorabilia and photos, printed inner sleeves and four art print photographs,” and everything will be housed in a hardback slipcase. The anniversary edition will also be available in 2xCD and a 6xD sets.
