1977 poster and single

[Dietmar]

I just received some very nice The Police items from 1977.

http://www.policefans.org/Police_wiki/i ... 1977-10-16

shows a poster of their concert with The Damned. The Police are not even mentioned on the poster. They originally wanted to tour the Netherlands with Wayne County & The Electric Chairs, but there were no concerts booked at all. So The Damned let them play out of pity...

After the short Police set Sting himself sold Fall Out singles.
The single shown here has a glossy sleeve, quite different to the lots made out of another kind of paper that I've seen so far.

Cool! Thanks for the link, Dietmar, 'cause I don't regularly look in on the wiki.

Oh cool, that is definitely something to look at. Thanks for this!
Awesome stuff for sure.

excellent stuff. thanks fer sharing.

how do you know the provenance?
did you get the stuff from someone who bought the single from the young sweaty gordo his/herself after the show?

and, looking on other bits of the wiki, i did not know that the police's first appearance was in Wales!! random. a journey of a few hours from london... and not just at the 'bull and gate' or 'hope and anchor' or any of the other hundreds of venues in london where getting a gig woulda been easy....

You always find such fun shiny toys, Dietmar.

I was wondering that, too.

check the link on that wiki page
that guy was there at that particular concert and bought that Fall Out single from Sting
he also took a poster from the walls
he basically asked me to release him from this memorabilia

Why did Sting sell Fall Out singles? Weren't they Stewart's?
