Message in a bottle by The Police from the album Regatta de Blanc.
This record was one of the first albums I remember playing in my bedroom as a teenager in 1980 something. Andy’s unforgettable guitar riff winding in and out of Stewart’s driving off beat snare is the perfect 7 second intro for Sting’s fretless bass and tasty glissando into the opening lyrics. Thanks to Rex for the loan of your stereo and this album. I shared a bedroom with my younger brother and had to make room for the turntable on top of our childhood dresser. We cleared away our bookshelves of dusty Reader’s digest books, (a yearly subscription from my grandparents) to make room for the speakers and basked in the independence of closing the door and playing our music loud.
