OK, this one has a $3.99 price sticker from Rhino Records. That means it's likely that I got this album on a memorable trip to the shop in I want to say 1985, with my then simpatico boyfriend (future ex-husband). I knew of the Police in my earlier teens, but this song would've spoken to me more at 17 than 13. And it's a little scratched, so I couldn't fully get my groove on today, but the blend of social commentary and catchy rhythm still comes through. And, yes, I'll be pissed if the next song is scratched up....
