I am reading Stewart Copeland's sort of autobiography (interesting story- look up his brothers and his father -- fouding member of the OSS, CIA, Shah of Iran, etc.) and the discography lists the 6 Greatest Hits including "The Best of Sting and the Police". The last half of the book is about the last tour.
