JAN		ARTIST	CD	SONG	COMMENTS
	1	THE POLICE	CERTIFIABLE	MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE [LIVE]	IM A HUGE POLICE FAN. I WENT TO COLLEGE IN 1983, THE SAME YEAR THAT THE POLICE BROKE UP. THE MUSIC, CERTAINLY IN THE EARLIER YEARS, WAS ARGUABLY THE MOST INTELECTUAL ON THE SCENE AT THE TIME. WE SAW THE POLICE REUNION TOUR HERE IN LONDON IN 2007. FOR ME IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. ALL OF THE SONGS WERE MASTERFULLY RECREATED USING TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY. THE POLICE PRODUCED A CONCERT RECORDING FROM THIS TOUR ENTITLED, CERTIFIABLE. IT WAS RECORDED LIVE IN BUENOS AIRES. I BOUGHT THE CD/ 2 DVD SET VIA BESTBUY.COM. IT IS BEING SOLD EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH THEM.
