never comes up as a favourite when you speak to fans of The Police but I've killed my 12" version playing it so much

'Do what you wanna do' - T-Connection

I agree.
Shep Pettibone was/is the absolute master of 12” versions.

Couple of my fave shep remixes that instantly spring to mind...

Great choice and an underrated band. The b side (mutant dance move) also slaps

I’m compiling a list of the greatest 12” singles of all time.
Growing up in the 80s I always preferred the extended remixes than the 7” singles.
Which are your favourites?

I’ll go first :
•New Order - Blue Monday
•FGTH - Two Tribes (annihilation mix)
•Madonna - Open Your Heart
•Duran Duran - The Reflex
•The Cure - Close To Me
•Level 42 - Lessons In Love
•Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Love Missile F-1 11 (ultraviolence)
•Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (murder mix)
•New Order - Love Bizarre Triangle (Shep Pettibone remix)
•Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance
•Grace Jones - Slave To The Rhythm (hot blooded remix)
•Pet Shop Boys - Left To My Own Devices

What else would you recommend?

Thanks.

Delete Madonna,then I'd say that's a rather bloody excellent list.
