Mercury Studios is excited to announce a release from the archives of The Police, “Around The World Restored & Expanded”, which spotlights the group’s first international tour in 1979 and 1980. Presented as a travelogue-style documentary, the film shows the band on and off stage as they explore the local culture and perform in front of fans on 6 continents. The show was previously available only on VHS and Laserdisc, and has had the visuals restored and the audio remixed and mastered for its first-ever release on DVD and Blu-ray. 4 complete performances from the show are included as DVD & BD bonus features, and will be bundled with live audio on CD or LP. Complete list of formats is below.

Around The World follows The Police on their first world tour in 1979 and 1980, as they visit 6 continents building their fanbase show-by-show, country-by-country, song-by-song. In between the performances, the film offers a jovial glimpse of the band as they travel around the world and their visits to local sights. Around The World is presented with restored picture and remastered audio, and includes complete performances of 4 songs featured in the documentary.

Recorded during The Police’s first world tour, the CD & LP showcases Sting, Andy Summers, & Stewart Copeland playing with a frenzy and passion that would make them the biggest band in the world. Spotlighting tracks from their first two albums, these performances were recorded in Japan, Hong Kong, and England.

The DVD+CD and Blu-ray+CD will feature liner notes from Police guitarist Andy Summers.
