Description from the seller
General Information
Artist: The Police
Album: Synchronicity
Format: 8-Track Tape Cartridge (White Shell)
Release Year: 1983
Label: A&M Records / RCA Music Service
Edition: Club Edition
Description
"Synchronicity" is the fifth and final studio album by The Police, released in June 1983. It is a landmark of the 80s, blending rock, reggae, and jazz into a cohesive masterpiece. This album features the band's biggest hits, including "Every Breath You Take," "King of Pain," and "Wrapped Around Your Finger." This particular release on 8-track is a rare artifact of the format's final years. By 1983, 8-tracks were being phased out, and major titles like this were primarily available only through mail-order club services like RCA Music Service, making this a highly desirable item for specialized collectors.
Condition
Status: Still Sealed (SS)
The item is in its original factory shrink wrap. The seal is tight and completely intact with no tears or others defects. The red slipcase remains vibrant with sharp corners and no signs of fading. The white cartridge shell, visible through the wrap, appears clean and free of any cracks or discoloration. As this is a vintage sealed item over 40 years old, it is sold as a collector’s piece in "as-is" condition regarding playback.
Notes for collectors
This is the original 1983 first edition of the RCA Music Service release. Finding "Synchronicity" on 8-track is already a challenge, but finding one in factory-sealed condition is exceptionally rare. Late-period 8-tracks (1982-1984) are among the most sought-after items for tape enthusiasts because of their limited production runs. This is a top-shelf piece for any Police completionist or high-end 8-track collector.
