I have a 1980 limited edition picture disc,in the shape of a sheriffs badge,of The Police,"Message In A Bottle",I think it may have come from the USA where only 4400 copies were made,is this figure alot in record terms, or does it make it rare and valuable?,I think it may well be,so was wondering if anyone has any information on the record,how rare is it,and what is its worth?
Whats this record worth?

The Police don't seem that collectable (which is quite surprising), even things like the 6 x 7ââ'¬Â singles coloured vinyl set doesn't make more than 10-15 quid. I've not checked eBay recently though, that place is a law unto itself so the prices may well be different. I'd be surprised if the shaped pic of Message in a bottle would make more than a fiver, though I have been wrong before!

Yeah - I'm surprised as well - I've got the entire Police back catalog on vinyl (and paid something like £12 for the whole lot!) - wander why they're not collectable?
By the way - what album is "Murder by numbers" on? Heard it in the "Copycat" movie recently, but my Police vinyl's half buried in my stuff at the mo so awkward to get to?
I'd say 4400 copies is FAIRLY rare, but when you get down below 1000 copies, that's when things get really interesting...
I've got "Brothers in arms" on CD single - one of only 600. I'd love to know how many copies of, say, Now that's what I call music 4 on CD were pressed...

Murder By Numbers
Dom,
"By the way - what album is "Murder by numbers" on? Heard it in the "Copycat" movie recently, but my Police vinyl's half buried in my stuff at the mo so awkward to get to?"
I have "Murder By Numbers" as a bonus track on my cd version of Synchronicity. Don't know where else it might be available.

if it's not worth that much you can always use it as a sheriff's badge
