The Police's "Synchronicity" Coming to DVD

"Universal Music are pleased to announce the Monday September 5th 2005 DVD premiere release of 'The Police - Synchronicity Concert.'" I believe them. They're so excited that they rushed their press release out without proofreading it! Guys, psst... The song is "O My God", not "Oh My God." It's not a "slip of the finger" typo; they spelled it that way twice.

Ah, well. No one's perfect. Maybe they wanted to see whether, say, Billboard.com would catch their mistake (no). Anyway, no, I wouldn't want someone to call me out for a mistake, but the important thing to remember is: this time, it isn't me who made a mistake. So it's very different!

That Sept. 5 release date is just for the U.K., incidentally. The DVD will be set loose for those of us in North America sometime after that, likely not long afterward, at least according to... Billboard.

The Synchronicity Concert video taped in November 1983 in Atlanta has long been available on VHS, but will now be available for the first time on DVD, with remixed 5.1 Surround Sound, a rare 1984 band interview, "never-before-seen" (surely they mean "by the public") 1983 performances of "Demolition Man" and "Murder by Numbers" and bells and whistles like multi-angle performances of some songs.

1. Intro
