    My Side B corresponds to this matrix, but Side A corresponds to this version:
    https://discogs.versitio.com/release/22985813-The-Police-Synchronicity

    It's purple vinyl, but the front sleeve is Yellow/Blue/Red(YBR) and Sting/Stewart/Andy?

      I will only say one thing - this LP officially took the longest to narrow it down to the exact same pressing/edition I got out of my entire collection, LMAO

        Side I is the more progressive sides of Andy and Stewart, Side II is the pop side of Sting.......

          This album would have gotten 5 stars from me if side one wasn't a load of crap. Really could Andy and Stu contribte anything better than Mother and Mrs. Gradenko. It is more than obvious at this point that Sting is the man to be watching. Side two is an awesomely beautiful record.
