- The Police - Reggatta de Blanc (FYYC’s Extended Remix)
Now that The Police, especially Sting actually, persist in their refusal (or rather fear, I guess) of making that highly sought after new material, we - the loyal fans - have to get that job done. So take a moment for this refreshed version of the titlesong of Reggatta de Blanc. Don't be fooled by the live video images. This is a studio version remix, no live audio shreds were used in this remix. As far as I know it’s the first real remix of the song.
Originally intended as an instrumental part in the middle of ‘Can’t stand losing you’, but somewhere between april and june 1978 chopped out of the first version, and re-recorded on Reggatta in 1979. In july ’79 they still referred to it as ‘Can’t stand losing you, the bit we left out’. Definately the track we used to go nuts on collectively, at the time!
If you're interested in the gradual development and birth of this song during live performances of The Police, you might also enjoy my (20 minutes!) live remix:
• The Police LIVE - Can'...
And if you are Dutch, you might enjoy this one too: • Bie's view. Wim de Bie...
The video is only made to support the audio remix. All footage used is around on the internet. Really hope you enjoy it! And if our protagonist(s) will ever read this: c’mon Sting, time is running out and what is there to lose? So get your friends together, go crazy and MAKE THAT DAMN SIXTH POLICE ALBUM!
One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. Not because the band turned everything up to 11 and thrashed the shit out of it. Because they didn't!! The amazing rhythm section of Sting and Stewart Copeland was the heart of the Police, and never better demonstrated than on this track. Andy Summers threading in and out with his harmonics builds the song up to Sting's stellar, soaring vocals to the climax. The Police were able to use Reggae and a brilliant ability to utilise the holes in songs, and fill them imaginatively, to make a sound that was purely their own. Bloody amazing band!
Nicely spoken, Ralph!
This is the definitive Police sound
Loving these mixes. They're right up there with Stewart's De-arrangements. A BIG THUMBS UP !
Thanks Mark!
Regatta de blanc, epic album. FYYC! Thanks, love your videos, happy days.
Your remixes are really amazing. The Police is still my favorite band. Thanks for sharing your talent and art in these music videos.
Thanks mrBdeye, kind words! 🙏

Always loved this one. One of the very few songs they all wrote together. Pity they couldn't do more.

the poliçe o imortal 5 estrelas
Joder que bueno....!! Me encanta....!!
We need another reunion from them! this time Acoustic Live!
Soooo good! 🔥🔥🔥 The Police had so many great tunes in a relatively short span with only five albums! I was snatching up every new release as soon as it was available. Love hearing these reimagined tracks! (Stewart, is that you?? Maybe an offspring?? 🧐)
Not an offspring, just a contemporary... Glad you like it, Edgejourney. I hope it feels like snatching up new releases again! 👍
@@fyyc Absolutely LOVE these mixes! Very familiar with everything Police and Stewart and I could see him doing a project like this - especially after the Everyone Stares documentary and the Deranged remixes. Keep them coming!! 🔥
Caramba! Arriba!... con la cabeza!
Congratulations.............. Police is Magic!!!!!
Thanks Carlo. Well, this kind of Police definately is ;-)
Bellissimo, da ascoltare e da vedere, i miei tre biondi preferiti🤩🤩🤩🎶🎶🎶💃
Prego, Laura! A proposito, anche le mie tre bionde preferite... Ciao!
What a mix! And the video editing is spot on✌️
Thanks Idan. Glad you like it.
Wow fantastic the way this has been put together, from their best album too IMO 👌🎵
Lovvvvvvvvve it greatly
Many many thanks. Je ne sais pas où vous avez trouvé ces morceaux dans ces versions, mais là, cela envoie du bois... Best Regards.🙂😉
Awesome! Was at the Miami 1979 clip used in this video. October '79, Gussman Cultural Center.
Nice Brett, an eye (and ear) witness! Any recollection of extraordinary things during this gig?
Maybe the best Message in a Bottle version in this gig.
Gran trabajo amigo¡
very very very good 👍🤘🤘🤘🤘👋👋👋 thank's
🙏🙏🙏
Truely remarkable. Thankyou.
SUBLIME!!!!🎶🥁🎶
Very nice
Успех длиной в жизнь... It's success for a lifetime
Stellar!!!
Stellar? As a non-native English speaker I had to look up the precise meaning of the word. The www explains to me: ‘dominant, key, outstanding, supreme, magnificent, exceptional, brilliant…’ Is that right? Gosh, embarrassing, but I appreciate it!
Está versión es excelente
The Police motto, yeyo, hello my music motto 🎶🥳🥁👍
Your motto... yeah? Yo! :-)
Fantastic! As usual ♡
Thanks to you too, as usual ♡.
What was The Police's favorite recreational drug? YAY YO!
This was so creative ! You added a lot of excitement to an already exciting song. The shots of the crowd getting revved up really helped make this outstanding.
Thanks Bill, nice words!
The fabelous franck de moulins❤
🔥🔥🔥
Lots of memories with this song! Great work... Will you do the same with songs of GITM? Omega man, maybe?
So many songs, so little time... ;-)
@@fyyc No time this time!
OOOhf
Andy and Stewart were waiting for Sting at the beginning. Andy even gave a dirty look ....LOL ...did you all notice that ?
?
@@fyyc I meant for Sting to start singing. It was a long intro ....
1:05 I think you’re referring to
a la bamba!!!
arriba!!!
#$&&&#?? carreta??
Nobody knows what he said in the 3rd line
Do you by any chance know what Sting says at the begining or i will finally have to die withiout knowing.....?
Sorry, but I probably can't lighten your mortal fate....:-)
Other Police experts who can clarify this? What you hear in it probably also depends a bit on the language you speak. See the reaction of Alejandro Moreno S., he hears "Dos Cervezas" in it :-) :-)
@@fyyc hahaha!! I guess i can go without that knowledge!! Thanks anyway..
@@fyyc hahaha thst is exactly what i've been thinking since i bouhgt the lp in 1980!! 2 CERVEZAS 🍺 !!!!!
''don't remember''?
