Description

STING - Newcastle Big Band - LP rare vinyl live - 1972 - The Police

The one and only album from the Newcastle Big Band on the small independent local label Impulse.
Sting plays bass on all 8 tracks, which were all instrumental and recorded on a two-track Revox tape recorder.
Recorded live at University Theatre, Newcastle and at Municipal Casino, Pau, France.

The picture sleeve has a white background with 'NEWCASTLE BIG BAND' in large capital letters above a half sleeve size blurred picture of the band performing, where you can just about make Sting out in the back row! Sting is credited as "Gordon Sumner" (his original name).

The labels are plain white with a boxed 'Newcastle Big Band' stamped in large black capital letters, 'Special Issue' stamped in smaller red letters and 'Side One' stamped in even smaller black letters. On side 2, there's the same 'Newcastle Big Band' and 'Special Issue' stamps but nothing else to signify that it is side 2!

The sleeve is not in perfect condition. The vinyl and labels are still in good condition.
