[[Stewart Copeland]] and [[Andy Summers]] both went to Piccadilly Radio's studios (at Piccadilly Plaza in Manchester) for an interview with Pete Baker. In that interview they discuss the latest single [[Can't Stand Losing You (song) | Can't Stand Losing You]] and Stewart on the cover, then about [[Illegal Records]] & [[Faulty Records]] and their first single [[Fall Out]].

Stewart says just wait folks for the new album, its gonna be fabulous. He sounds like he's talking about their 1st album [[Outlandos d'Amour | Outlandos]], as they are talking about now we have the name the police etc. Interview is definatly pre- [[Outlandos d'Amour | Outlandos]] UK release date. Stewart promises that the new album will be great as they worked on it a lot instead of playing concerts. Stewart also mentioned they are flying over to the states at the end of the week. Pete started off the interview by saying that his hair and voice is simular to Klark Kent...which Stewart playfully denies! The songs played during the interview (which are not on the master tape, as the songs were inserted in between the interview, as written on the master tape box) (In order) [[Can't Stand Losing You (song) |  Can't Stand Losing You]], [[Fall Out]] & [[Dead End Job]]. Pete Baker confirmed to Craig that he owns the actual master reel tape, so a piece of priceless history!
