- This is my first impressions of this new release. This is a conversation style video also, no snippets or samples of songs (don't want to chance being blocked by RUclips and their copywrite policy). It' just me babbling about music I love. Think of it as a friendly conversation between friends about what they have been listening to and what they think about it. Feel free to join in the conversation with any stories or comments you want to share. If you've had a chance to hear the album, be sure to tell us what you thought of it. Thanks for stopping by.

Such a classic album! The bonus tracks on here are incredible and really show you the development of these songs. Also, Andy Summers is the man!
Just got mine in the mail : )
All of the songs on the box set are "technically" connected to Synchronicity, even if it's tangentially so. For example, you mention "Truth Hits Everybody", which has continually been mislabeled as a "Remix" since its initial release. In actuality, it's a completely new recording of the 1978 original - quite radically so in fact. It was recorded in May 1983 in London, a few months after the Synchronicity sessions in Montserrat. The band did two takes, the second of which was released as the other "A-Side" of a strictly limited edition UK double 7" of "Every Breath You Take" in 1983. The first version is also on the Synchronicity box set as an "Outtake". For my digital music collection, I've renamed the track, "Truth Hits Everybody '83", which makes a lot more sense IMHO.
Another example would be "Once Upon A Daydream", which was recorded for the Ghost In The Machine sessions, again in Montserrat, but was ultimately left off the album. The first release of this song was on the B-Side of "Synchronicity II", so, again, I guess its "loosely" part of the Synchronicity family!
