The record

Title: The Police | Ghost In The Machine

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1981,  New Wave, London

Matrix #: SP-3730

Condition: EX (VZ)

Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle Sting was pushing harder toward a broader artistic identity here, carrying the pressure of fame while already straining against the limits of being just one-third of a band.
  2. Band Drama By this point the Police were hugely successful but internally tense, with Sting, Summers, and Copeland pulling in different musical and personal directions.
  3. Media Narrative The album marked a shift from lean punk-reggae energy toward denser, more intellectual pop, helping turn the Police into a bigger global act while also exposing cracks in the trio

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
