Bootleg of The Police 1981 live in Melbourne at Festival Hall.
My copy says it is on “Washington Ave. Sound” label, but there are many versions out there, some called “The Police Tapes” – perhaps was a radio broadcast in 1981?

Billy Bragg, Best of Billy Bragg at the BBC, 2019 on Cooking Vinyl
So many great tunes and lyrics here
“In the end it took me a dictionary / to find out the meaning of unrequited”
“I saw two shooting stars last night / I wished on them but they were only satellites / it’s wrong to wish on space hardware / I wish, I wish, I wish you’d care”
“Outside the patient millions / who put them into power / expect a bit more for their taxes / like school boards, beds in hospitals, and peace in our bloody time / all they get is old men grinding axes”
He always manages to mix romantic longing and progressive politics in a way that speaks to me directly.
