Episode 61 - The Police ”Zenyattà Mondatta”

DISCLAIMER: We are aware of Alex's audio issues/doubling effect on this episode (and the last episode) and fixed it as best as possible. These were technical issues captured on his source file and were unrepairable after the live recording. Apologies for any annoyance but this has been rectified on the upcoming "Ghost in the Machine" episode. We tried out a new recording software for this episode and "Regatta" but due to the ongoing issues, we have gone back to the previous software (if it's not broken, don't fix it I suppose!). Episode 61 covers the third Police studio album, 1980's "Zenyattà Mondatta." It was co-produced by the band and Nigel Gray. Zenyatta Mondatta was released to commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and producing the hit singles "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". The album won the band two Grammy Awards: Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "Behind My Camel". Mark, Kevin, Alex, and Chris take you on a historical journey surrounding the album as well as share our favorites and not-so favorites from the record. We go on a deep dive track-by-track listen of this album as well as share personal stories of discovering The Police's "Zenyattà Mondatta." Tune in next week for Episode 62 covering the forth Police studio album "Ghost in the Machine."
