New Police box set

[Wombat]

Oh it's hilarious. It just shows how far away the corporates are from the talent. But then again, do we take it a little too seriously sometimes?

Maybe the Milman's Song will make it onto a rarities album, along with Stewart's Barkness, Bose Everydude Bare, A Lovely Way of Popping; and Andy's Smother and Behind My Flanel.

Well, one of the biggest mistake was the Spanish (was it Spanish...? or Mexican? I don't remember exactly) release of Roxanne, that came out as HOXANNE, in big capitol letters on the cover of the single....
I wonder what the management said at the time...

It was Spanish, Gio.

There's also an UK 7" Reissue of Roxanne with a B-side written sYchronicty II instead of the correct sYNchronicty II, an irish 7" of Every Little Thing... with a B-Side written fleZible strategies, a japanese 7" of Message In A Bottle with "THE POILCE" written on back cover, etc...

I can also imagine some (very few) people in June 1980 come back with anger to their record shops with their Six Pack:
"Hey Man ?!"
"Yes, Sir ?"
"I was thinking all the 6 records were coming in blue vinyl"
"Correct, Sir"
"Wrong, one comes in black !"
"Let me see... Oh! sorry sir for the mistake... It's possible to refund you"
"Of course I want !"

There was also a japanese LP edition of Klark Kent in black vinyl, but it was written "Klerk Kant" !

... And a Spanish (from Basque Country) flyer (With dates of 5,6 and 7) for Mont De Marsan Festival annoucing Police as coming from... Belgium !

Maybe the same guy has printed the Hoxanne release ?
