Trivia
At noon The Police signed records at "Rather Ripped Records" on the corner of Hearst & Euclid in Berkeley, CA, USA.
In pictures of this event Andy Summers can be seen wearing a button by local band "The Jars" on his leather jacket. Two of the band's members worked at the record store, that's why Mik McDow had the opportunity to give one to Andy.
Devorah Ostrov interviewed store manager Ray Farrell and was told this funny story:
Q: What did you do for The Police window?
Ray: I remember we made kind of a standard window with the album cover and singles and stuff. All the normal stuff you could get if you were into The Police. But I had this record from Stewart Copeland's first band... It was awful.
Q: Klark Kent?
Ray: No! This was way before Klark Kent. It was something he did in Berkeley; he went to UC Berkeley. It was this terrible progressive rock record that he put out with his friends. It was in the window, and I'll never forget Sting looked at it and said, "What is that?" And I told him, "That's Stewart's first band." And he said, "Are you serious? I've gotta hear this!" So, we played it, and he was just laughing. He couldn't believe how bad it was! He ripped Stewart about it for hours. He was like, "I can't believe you did something like this!" And he had to buy it. He said, "I'll give you $100 for this!" I think I sold it to him for $10.
A picture in The Police: A Visual Documentary by Miles on the March 1979 pages reveals that The Police were scheduled to play two sets with support act The Readymades (8pm and 10:30pm).
