The Police RENEWED - Message In A Bottle (FYYC’s Extended Remix & Special Video)

This post is first and foremost about the music: a new remix of MIAB. Fairly faithful to the original, but refreshed in a way I prefer to hear it: with a quiet intro, then Stewart invading the place hitting hard, a guitar sound that is slightly adjusted in timbre, and from 3:12 more than two minutes of Andy's (underrated) guitar solo. Hope you like it!
The video is only made to support the audio remix. All footage used is around on the internet. It is remarkable that there are very few studio recordings of MIAB. Probably because the original single came out at a time when the lads were too busy touring. In addition to the official clip, there is this German TV show recording; funny to see at 6:07 how Stewart wrecks his drum set more or less deliberately.
Now that The Police, especially Sting actually, persist in their refusal (or rather fear, I guess) of making that highly sought after new material, we - the loyal fans - have to get that job done. So take a moment for this refreshed version.
And if our protagonist(s) will ever read this: c’mon Sting, time is running out and what is there to lose? So get your old friends together, go crazy and MAKE THAT DAMN SIXTH POLICE ALBUM!

They say that you can't improve upon perfection... these remixes prove otherwise. Bravo!!!

[@MichaelJazayeriMD]

I was in high school when The Police came out. They were my Beatles. After 40 years, I still get goosebumps when I hear this song. Awesome remix!

[@ukok8177]

The best song that ever was made

[@ukok8177]

I Keep on coming back to this channel for more exciting stuff, every thing FYYC do is magic... Can't get enough from this sound, its too good, the energy, the sound, the singing, the drumming , the guitar sound.

BEST version EVER! Sting always ruined the live performances by never singing it the way the record went. This ROCKS!

[@f.h.vanengelen7722]

Put it on a ALBUM. Million seller

Love Andy’s blues touch on this mix.

[@David-tg8ku]

Awesome and keeps the essence of The Police vibe. Takes me back to the late 70's/early 80's.

[@Dzanarika1]

I like this version better too!

[@TheDaaazer]

I love what you are doing with these remixes - capturing and highlighting all the signature Police elements that made the band what it was. Despite going to 7 of the reunion shows -- these elements are what were missing for me. LOVE these remixes.

[@fyyc]

Thanks Amir for the compliment and sharing your thoughts! Do agree with you; I also attended a lot of reunion concerts and also missed the typical Police subtleties from time to time. They put quite more emphasis on going through the set list in a rocking way, unfortunately tightly practiced. Although there were still the necessary songs with magical moments imho...

[@borutkejzar3962]

Great

[@jefffogg8730]

I miss being excited about a new Police album. I loved those occasions. 😏
