@8:43 The cover with the off-kilter front/back is Taiwanese. The NT $160 price is consistent with the New Taiwan Dollar. In the fine print, while tough to read, seems to read 台北市南京東路五段64號地下一樓 which is a Taipei address.
I'm not sure one way or the other, but this may count as a pirate, bootleg, or at least unofficial release - call it what you may. Copyright laws weren't established/recognized there until around 1995, so it wasn't technically illegal to press records without A&M's blessings, and that being the case, I'd be a little surprised if this were actually an official release rather than gray market.
Thank you! GREAT video!!
You're so welcome! I have a PART 3 to create as soon as I hunt own a few holdout items! @rocdocs
40 years after I began collecting I’m so thrilled to see Jay leading new generations of police collectors with the same energy, enthusiasm and dedication! That just leaves the two test pressing picture discs inc DSSCTM from 1980! The stuff of legends! 👍
Commented initially on your first video Jay. When you can, please get to checking the vinyl up to light. I'm curious
Hi Jim, you certainly have touched upon one physical attribute of the synchronicity albums which I purposefully have not really gotten into. These albums were often pressed on a special type of vinyl called KC-600 audiophile vinyl. A physical attribute of the material itself, as you mentioned, is translucent,….. despite looking like it they are black when not held to the light. When held to the light, some appear more purple and the other appear more brown. In my experience, perhaps 10 to 20% of them are brown while the remaining are purple however, I do not consider these to be color vinyl. They were not marketed as such, and again this is a physical attribute of the actual KC-600 material itself that came that way from the vinyl supplier…. It is interesting and cool to discover as a little surprise, though, I totally agree with you. And although I cherish seeing the brown ones as the ones that seem to be a little bit scarcer, I do not assign greater value to them because they are brown. I don’t think anyone else is doing so, either. Here is an interesting discussion about it… forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/share-your-records-pressed-on-secret-quiex-type-vinyl-not-colored-clear-vinyl.285211/page-10
Man,what an amazing collection!!
Thank you... It wasn't by accident! This took WORK!!!!!!!
I have the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab gold CD.
cool! how does it sound????
@@jaymatsueda627 Great, but not as good as the original pressing.
I have the leftmost of the three buttons you showed. Pretty sure they sold those at the merch table during the Synchronicity tour, which I saw twice. Once in Hartford CT and once in Syracuse NY.
nice! i'm always looking for more variations for a Part 3 video! haha
You could also refer to the last one as a 'comp' or 'comprehensive layout' (term we use in graphic design). Great videos of the covers.
Glad you enjoyed these. There will be a PART 3 eventually after I get one or 2 more missing items I seek!
@@JayMatsuedaOfficial Very nice. How long has it taken you to acquire the collection?
I've collected items other than Vinyl such as Star Wars and have some originals a couple of them rare. My grandma was the one to track down some originals so I probably got that from her lol Often times it's the 'Thrill of the Hunt'.
I have my original The Police vinyl LP's and obligatory used record store live bootlegs that are probably made out of melted tires. Synchronicity is the Common cover. It might be the best layout anyhow. The DTS 5.1 CD is a novelty.
I recorded all of my vinyl to my Mac and some to CD via a USB turn table. Previously I used an analog turntable to a Pioneer Elite receiver line out to an AV Mac. That sounded pretty good. USB sounds better. Vinyl has that warmth.
This is what we've been waiting for.
I aim to please... Hoping to have Part 3 ready sooner than the 3-year span between Parts 1 and 2! Enjoy the hunt!
Jay , Pretty awesome stuff!! It's nice to see collectibles that in all likelihood, I will probably never find or own. For that reason.....Thanks! I wonder what's in store for part 3?!
PART 3 is coming pretty sooooooon! Just a couple more items to acquire first!
Bonita y completa colección son las ediciones originales the police en chile viña 1982 concierto muy recordado como uno de los mejores del certamen.
Pretty cool! About the Mexican editions, the One by CBS Colubia was the original one. Then the Polygram versión was edites out around 87 when they took Over distributiion. The CBS versión of the LP was terrible. My parents took me like 3 times to the récord Store to exchange it as the stylus would skip on Synchronicity I at severa points
Awesome and inspiring. I'm trying to complete In Through The Out Door variations.
I came here because playing a video of the full album I suddenly noticed this Asian looking girl on the cover (left below on versions 26-28 in the previous video). I was curious who she was and wondered if there was some list of all the persons on the cover. Was she someone special, member of staff, Andy's girl-friend, a model, or ...? Trying to find out, knowing this was no Sergeant Pepper, I discovered the phenomenon of the variations (which explains why I never had noticed her on my own vinyl album cover from '83). Great job, but could you do another one on the pictures (should be far less work i guess)?
Jay, Just saw this video. (And the first one) I have recently been bit by the bug that causes one to go hunting for these covers. Loved the checklist but not on Instagram. Do u have other ways of sharing that list??
This is a fairly large (17mb) file, so that you can zoom in to see the details... So, it takes a second to download. Happy hunting!!! 🙂
And #39 shown here is one I got them to sign. Normally, there are obviously no signatures on it! haha
@@jaymatsueda627 awesome. Thank you very much
@@jaymatsueda627 wait. Where is the file listed?
@@robertsavage6862 RUclips doesn't appear to allow thelink, so I'll try now again to obscure how to get it, even though the language I'll need to use may sound odd. It's {myname} then a period and then the 3-letter abbreviation for company, then a {/} and then the file name of CHECKLIST--US-Synch-LP-covers then the file type which is period, then {pdf}

In the 1980's the local record store had a store fixture which was an oversized 6'x6' wood framed wall display. The place burned down in '89
Was the frame part of the original display? I have a large display that I acquired more recently than this Part 2 video, but no frame

@@JayMatsuedaOfficial When I say "framed" I mean it was attached to two by fours... it was cardboard and the "frame" was what the graphics were stretched over, if that makes sense. It was BIG. I always asked to buy it. But it was a store fixture.
@@JayMatsuedaOfficial imagine building a short sand box and affixing the album artwork over it
Great stuff Jay... I always wondered why there are only TWO graphical paint
stripes in this design (one is reversed and flipped to make the third). I always
wondered why they didn't just do three stripes!?
I'm seeing what I can find out! haha
