Video summary

A selection of live performances, behind the scenes material, The Police filming promotional videos - filmed between February 1980 and January 1981.

This re-release of Around The World promotes its improved picture and sound quality with the "restored & expanded" label, but fails to mention that various parts of the original release are cut.

The following songs appeared in the original release - cuts on the 2022 release are mentioned:

  • in the very first scene the profile shots of Andy Summers and the garden lady and one garden shot are replaced with band scenes
  • Next To You (Kyoto - 1980-02-20) - one "woohoo" after the announcement is missing, the guitar solo including band shots at the train station are cut (including Stewart Copeland's comments about "little porcelain dolls")
  • Light Changes - new "him killer dog" audio at the start; at the end about 35 seconds with Andy and Stewart talking are cut
  • tailor scene - "he's a very famous person - with The Police" / bribing the tailor with what's probably a The Police pin : cut
  • Man In A Suitcase (Los Angeles - 1981-01-16) - interview with Australian kids is cut, the radio announcer and scenes with the doctor are completely gone, no more '80s effects
  • sitar jam
