The Policed: The Wisseloord Recordings - Short Documentary

At the time of writing, 41 years ago the legendary The Police recorded their 3rd album at the Wisseloord Studio’s in Hilversum, the Netherlands. With the help of their producer/engineer Nigel Gray they created a brilliant album -Zenyatta Mondatta-, with the hits Don’t Stand So close to Me and De Do Do Do De Da Da Da and masterpieces like Driven to Tears and Behind My Camel (Andy Summers' song - that won a Grammy).
Tributeband The Policed decided to cover and record two songs of Zenyatta Mondatta, exactly at the same spot where Stewart, Sting and Andy created their original; Studio 1, Wisseloord. A place, mostly unchanged from 41 years ago. Improved technology, but still the tape machine was there, the studio room was mainly unaffected, even the exact acoustic panels from 41 years ago (check the original album cover!) were there.
The band recorded De Do Do Do Do De Da Da Da and 'Driven to tears'.
This is the short Documentary that the band created about this project.
Recorded at the Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum, Netherlands

They're great. However, you have to ask. What's the point?

As useless as showing a flag of a genocidal government...
