This week we’re celebrating Synchronicity — the fifth and final album from The Police. Released 40 years ago — on June 17, 1983 — Synchronicity was full of hit singles, becoming the British new wave trio’s most successful release. Along with their subsequent tour — The Police were so popular — that at the time, they were considered to be the biggest band in the world. We’ll be spinning tracks from Synchronicity along with other iconic new wave and post punk artists.
