I think that people who may expect a demo not to sound rough around the edges is maybe wanting perfection where it is not needed. Just enjoy the original idea for a song that all Police fans love. It sounds amazing for a demo, and very close to the finished product.
@zimonslot It is spelled "Horrible", by the way. It is best to use spell check when you are being insulting to look less like a Buffoon yourself.
You obviously don't get that this version is an early work in progress of the later finished song that probably isn't appreciated by anyone but hardcore fans wanting to hear things that deviate from the polished completed recordings that we all know and love.
@frajel123 You're probably thinking of a demo that a no-name band would release. In that case, then yes, this would be pretty bad for a first impression.
The vocals sound very similar to the version on GITM. I do remember reading that Stewart said it was a pain in the arse to get right because they couldn't recreate the 'magic' of the demo, so they kept Sting's vocals and added their parts to them.
Demo or original, this song is just a masterpiece of pop.

@frajel123 You're an idiot. It's a DEMO! It's not supposed to sound like the finished product. You obviously know nothing about recording music.

yep, I think most of the vocals and keyboards were kept from the demo that was recorded at Le Studio in Quebec.
