Police - Message in a Bottle - Poster Single

Another Record of the Week.

A while back I put up the picture disk version of this single. Now here's the poster version.

The B-Side of the single contains a nice live version of Landlord.

Poster singles were pretty big in the 80's and here's another good example. For a couple of other examples check out Kim Wilde and Sheena Easton.

The Police - Message in a Bottle - Badge Picture Disc

Another Record of the Week

One of the more unusual picture discs I picked up over the years, this single from the police is actually badge shaped. Well, it's star shaped, but they call it a badge, so I'll call it a badge.

Like most picture discs the sound quality is sketchy at best, which is too bad because there's a nice live version of Message in a bottle on the flip side.

The back of the cover (not pictured) is just a repeat of the faux leather look you see on the front and on the flap in the interior. There is no writing or extra graphics on the back.

'til picture discs are worth playing
