@natehate I've only ever seen the US artwork for that police single

That one's awesome (if not oddly heavy for a band like them)

i believe, not 100% sure, but i remember reading this cover was recalled
wikipedia says
"The original single was banned by the BBC because of the controversial cover (an alternative cover was released in some places). As Sting described: "The reason they [the BBC] had a problem with "Can't Stand Losing You" was because the photo on the cover of the single had Stewart standing on a block of ice with a noose around his neck, waiting for the ice to melt."[9] Despite this, or perhaps because of the extra attention from the controversy, it became the group's first single to break the charts,[7] and has held a spot in their live sets ever since it was written. The photography on the controversial cover was by Peter Gravelle. "

The blue vinyl copy of ‘Can’t Stand Losing You’ was originally part of a 7” six pack - I bought it on a school trip to London back in 1980!

@J-IV speedball....

RIP Mr Shorter

@GraemeE
Greate tune, which could be said about all the tracks on this one in my opinion. YouGoToMyHead is my favorite. Once Lee's trumpets drops after the opening melody, you know you're in for a good time.

RIP Wayne Shorter. Only a handful of the great saxophone legends of that era still with us today..

i still need to get the full length into my collection

@Aetas great minds.......

[Aetas]

Well played!
A great LP, isn’t it.

[GraemeE]

So good
I just wish I had been able to see them live during this era

@natehate nice Rumbleseat and Get up Kids! I've been going through my collection and slowly picking things off to put on Discogs over the last year or so. Grew up on central FL, so have pretty much every variation and version of all those Rumbleseat 7"s if you need any.

the get up kids 7" was a bitch to get, and i believe it cost me a bit too

[GraemeE]

Couldn't resist picking this one up at a thrift store for a few bucks - childhood memories

Here’s another rare one. First press. Since been rereleased but I think fairly hard to come by still. Took me a long time to get my hands on this masterpiece.

bought this second hand sometime late 80s, was always a special for me, although discogs now tells me it's of not much value moneywise, it is for me
