The Police - "Sincronization" (Synchronicity) Vinyl LP.

Original 1983 Venezuelan-issue 10-track Gatefold-sleeve LP on A&M Records.

A hard-to-find Venezuelan issue of this Police album, in a Retro heavy-card gatefold sleeve (As far as I know, this is the only version of this album to use a gatefold sleeve).

Another unusual feature of this version is the coloured picture stripes on the sleeve - which run parallel (vertical) with the sleeve opening on the side. (Almost all other issues had the picture stripes running perpendicular (horizontal) with the sleeve opening on the side).

I'm not sure if this version had multiple variations of the picture stripes (like the UK and US ones did). (See photos for the detail on this one).

English Lyrics are printed inside the gatefold. The tracklist on the back cover and labels is printed in both English and Spanish.

5th (and, as it turned out, final) Police album - includes the international smash hit "Every Breath You Take". 
 
Great condition all round (see detailed gradings below).
A rare and unusual edition of this album - in well above-average condition, with only very light signs of use.

Catalog Number - A&M 7.082.
