[@Beachwalker1966]

2024 and it still kicks!!!!!!!

[@dennisbrown4219]

This remix was done amazingly and is better than the original. It's beautiful and dark plus essence feel to the song

[@jameshosford4627]

No it's not.

[@josealfredocabral2943]

Toda la fuerza de the police!👍😎⚡️

[@Mac-ix4qp]

This version always had a more haunting melancholy feeling to it. Beautiful.

[@miguelgaldonmoragues]

👍👍👍

[@alexandrecourvoisier6033]

Yeah!..

[@Fenderfan1975]

The 80's at his best...miss that magic atmosphere of the analogics sound's mixed with a beautiful voice of Sting....

[@ellenmurphy2150]

Fenderfan1975 oh the 80s! The original I feel is the best.I love the extended remixes-- must be the 80s teenager in me somewhere

[@VinchVolt]

The drum machine on this song's digital though.

[@calvinwebb7989]

Fenderfan1975 analog is a continuous wave where digital is a series of numbers that may have “breaks” in it. Then there is compression of the audio. The upside of analog is it sounds better has a “warm” sound to it. The downside the recording media degrades every time you play it. Digital for all its faults the audio quality never degrades. It sounds the same no matter how many times you play it.

Demais essa música o baixo e a bateria destaca muito , uma grande lembrança do the Police

[@juansales5606]

One of the best songs of the world!

[@kasperjoonatan6014]

I had this in 12 inch vinyl. I wonder where that is now. I hope it has found a loving home.

[@dickschievink9063]

Me too ,! Still miss it , great memories 😎

[@sebastianmalagrino]

Me too, it's one of the few vinyls I keep

[@casinodelosdesertores9672]

I still have it

[@NoelArtMedia]

Andy's solo sounds like it might have been done out of frustration, while Sting and Stew argued over which drum machine to use. Still, the solo (heard in more detail here) is the best part of this remake.

[@0nehalo59]

NoelArtMedia ; AGREED!🧐👍🏾

[@fabianlupidi]

I went to see Andy, who came to Argentina last year! He played a great version!

[@strikeapose2008]

Fantastic mix brings out the essence of The Police original version into present day of Don't stand so close to me........young teacher the subject of school girl fantasy ..... awesome lyrics only Sting could come up with

[@mavericktriple9488]

I loved this 86 version, to me better then the original.

Yes, version 86

[@robbievenditti2130]

[@mojito6629]

I prefer this extended version of DSSCTM 86, because in this version there's Andy Summers solo guitar that I really like. Superb solo guitar

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

One of the greatest remake songs EVER! I like this version better than the original!

[@awm8221]

+Leslie Robinson Even with the drum machine? Really?

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

Yes,even with the drum machine!

[@Supersweetguy]

It is not a remake. Ever heard of remixes?

[@hans772]

It is a remake! The orginal one is from 1980, they remade it in 1986! If you listen closely you'll hear an extra word when he's talking about Nabokov....

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

Yes this song was remade in 1986,sadly Steward Copeland suffered a broken collarbone in the beginning stages of recording and both he and Sting got into an argument over which type of drum machine to use and it eventually led to their demise as a group as we know it. They did reunite on several occasions but did not tour again until 2006-2007

yes i agree this is one of the best remakes that i have ever heard and i like it better than the original version too bad that it is not available to purchase the 12inch version of this on cd or mp3 i wish they would make that happen

[@bjdokter]

The 12-inch version is available on the Message In A Box collecion CD set, as are all the B-sides of the Police singles

great remix. too bad it wasn't released on a police album.

[@Mitcheru_]

it was released on their 1986 compilation album: Every Breath You Take, The Singles

[@mikepaul3716]

don't stand so close to me 86 was released on every breath you take: the singles. this he extended dance mix. to my knowledge it has never been released on any police album.

[@markcoomber8222]

Correct. Only available on the 4-track 12" single. Better than the 'original' 1986 re-make and a better guitar solo.

[@Brickwall2468]

Is the last track on the The Police ‎- Message In A Box ( import version....dont think uk release ) the dance mix ?

[@saga55]

@@Brickwall2468 yes at least on the german release

[@cristianobersancamposbersa3221]

Simplesmente extraordinário !

[@paolodisi70]

very duran's style in the intro...drums, bass, synt...

[@sebastianmalagrino]

The sound was changing, from ghost in the machine, they were incorporating synthesizers, because in the English new wave Pop was predominating over Punk Rock. I agree that it has a duranie sound like a new moon on Monday. I like both bands. From The Police I prefer the last two albums and from Duran Duran the first 4 over the rest.

If anyone had noticed the references in the beginning of the song. The band was finished. Of course in 2007 they reunited because someone needed the money.

[@ajrleal]

Espetacular

[@shiprek2011]

I like it but to me it's really a sting/Andy summers collaboration, not the police because the drummer was out with a broken collarbone, hence the drum machine ( for the few who didn't know that piece of history) peace

[@petebailey6977]

shiprek2011 stew programmed the drums

[@ProfessorJDavis]

But you can still tell it's a drum machine, regardless. It lacks the spontaneity he usually put into his performances.

[@SagiVTamer7287]

Anyways, I still dream that, maybe, there would be a re-edition of this mix, where Copeland re-records his drum track to replace the drum machine here. I will dream on for it...
