Universal Music Group Greatest Hits EVP-602445569250 2LP Remastered Vinyl

A straightforward way to put a collection of The Police’s best-known songs on the turntable, this two-LP edition of Greatest Hits brings together the 1992 compilation on heavyweight black vinyl. It is an original recording remastered at Abbey Road, so it may suit listeners looking for a vinyl introduction to the band as well as fans adding a familiar compilation to a record collection.

The appeal here is the format and the ready-made selection: rather than choosing individual albums, you get a hits collection across two records.

What to know

Greatest Hits was first issued as a compilation in 1992 and is presented here as a standard 2LP vinyl edition. The recording has been remastered at Abbey Road and the records are described as heavyweight black vinyl. That gives the release a clear focus for buyers: a familiar collection in a physical format, rather than a new studio album or a collection built around a specific period of the band’s work. No track listing is provided in the product details, so it is worth checking the included songs if you are buying for particular favourites.

Buyers speak positively about the song selection and sound, with some noting a clear separation between bass and treble. The pressing is also described favourably by some listeners, but feedback on playability is mixed: while some report no trouble, others mention skipping. Those comments are individual impressions, not a guarantee of how every copy will play.

How to use it

This is a record for a turntable, with the music spread across two LPs. The practical choice is between this all-in-one hits format and buying individual Police albums: the compilation keeps the focus on a broad selection, while individual releases make more sense if you want a particular album in full. Handle and store the records as you would other vinyl, the product information does not specify any special care instructions.

Who it’s for

You’ll like it if you want The Police on vinyl without starting with several separate albums, or if a greatest-hits compilation suits the way you listen. It could also work as an introduction for someone who knows a few songs and wants a wider selection in one release. Buyers’ comments support that use, with listeners praising the collection and its sound, while the mixed reports of skipping are a reason to keep expectations measured.

Not the best choice if you are looking for a particular studio album, a complete catalogue, or confirmation that specific tracks are included: the supplied details do not give the track list. It is also worth bearing in mind that listener reports on playback are not unanimous.

Before you decide

What format is the album? It is a standard 2LP edition on heavyweight black vinyl.

Has it been remastered? The product details state that it was remastered at Abbey Road.

What do buyers mention about the record? Comments tend to favour the song selection and sound, but playback feedback is mixed, including some reports of skipping.

Final verdict

Choose this edition if you want a remastered, two-record Police hits collection in black vinyl, particularly as a starting point or a convenient alternative to collecting individual albums. If your decision depends on a specific song or on avoiding any possibility of playback issues, the missing track list and mixed listener reports make this a less certain fit.
