The Police- Ghost in the Machine 45th- Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers

By the time October 1981 ‘s fourth Police album “Ghost in the Machine”  was dispatched, the exposed roots and influences shown by the London-based trio founded by Yankee drummer Stewart Copeland, who had emerged from the dying embers of the Punk Rock scene there, were more Miles and Mingus than Johnny Rotten. “Ghost in the Machine” topped the UK sales chart, #2 on Billboard  album chart, over three million copies sold in America alone, and Rolling Stone  magazine ranking it at #322 on their Top 500 Albums of All Time list.

Like David Bowie did five years before and Sting would repeat five years later, Dire Straits’ October 1980 third release “Making Movies”  is Mark Knopfler’s unabashedly “Big Apple” album through the eyes of an Englishman in New York who had grown up an ocean away on Hemingway, Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Bob Dylan.

We have a unique and fascinating appearance In the Studio by The Scorpions  to spotlight their  biggest album Love at First Sting , featuring the song “Big City Nights” which appeared on that album originally but which  translated surprisingly well to their September 2013 unplugged performance in Athens Greece captured on CD and DVD as MTV […]
