~ Release by The Police (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

From CDJapan:
Cardboard sleeve reissue in Hi-Res CD format (UHQCD format x MQA technology). Features the DSD master in 2021, using original master tapes in the UK. The DSD master is available in 352.8kHz/24bit high resolution (perfect for MQA-enabled audio players / not digitally distributed up to this time). The mini LP faithfully replicates its UK first pressing LP design. Comes with lyrics and a description. Green color label coating. Available as cardboard sleeve packaging for the first time. *The disc can also be played on regular CD players in UHQCD 44.1kHz/16bit resolution. However, MQA-enabled hardware/software is necessary to harness the full potential of this Hi-Res CD.
