Police
Ghost in the machine
Original 1st Press OZ Promo LP released in 1981 on A&M Records. Cat: RML53011. Comes with printed inner bag which is in Near Mint condition.
This batch of records came from a collection bought recently from an ex Festival records employee. All are in stunning condition many of them probably only played once or twice at most.
For their fourth album, 1981's Ghost in the Machine, the Police had streamlined their sound to focus more on their pop side and less on their trademark reggae-rock. Their jazz influence had become more prominent, as evidenced by the appearance of saxophones on several tracks. The production has more of a contemporary '80s sound to it (courtesy of Hugh Padgham, who took over for Nigel Gray), and Sting proved once and for all to be a master of the pop songwriting format. The album spawned several hits, such as the energetic "Spirits in the Material World" (notice how the central rhythms are played by synthesizer instead of guitar to mask the reggae connection) and a tribute to those living amid the turmoil and violence in Northern Ireland circa the early '80s, "Invisible Sun." But the best and most renowned of the bunch is undoubtedly the blissful "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," which topped the U.K. singles chart and nearly did the same in the U.S. (number three).
Tracks: Spirits in the material world/ Every little thing she does is magic/ Invisible sun/ Hungry for you/ Demolition man/ Too much information/ Rehumanize yourself/ One world (not three)/ Omegaman/ Secret journey/ Darkness.
There are no signs of spindle marks on labels. Record is stunning and is in Near Mint condition. Cover has a few tiny marks and is in Excellent condition.
