The single was released in May 1977, and the band received their first royalty cheque, for £200, on August 12th. The original release of course was in the black and white sleeve, but there were three main reissues of the single most of them in 1979, known as the blue\/purple sleeve, the green\/black sleeve and the orange\/black sleeve. Surprising though it may seem, the orange\/black reissue, is by some margin the most difficult to locate and consequently the most valuable of the four. There was a very limited repressing of 100 records for the Outlandos fan club in 1979 - and it is believed that these were the orange\/black sleeve. It would certainly explain the rarity of the release as the copies only went to Outlandos members. If you are lucky enough to stumble across a copy at a record fair be sure to pick it up.

The band includes ex-Curved Air drummer Stuart Coplenad and ex-\"child prodigy\" Andy Summers (nee Somers), whose agile axe has graced records and roadshows of acts like the Animals and Kevin Ayers (and whose name was bruited about as under consideration for the job Mick Taylor left in the Stones). But forget all that (now that I've opened my big mouth) and remember only that this pair, along with the mysterious bassist Sting (he of the cloudy past), who writes and sings the songs, prove that 1) trios can still be a viable rockform and 2) thanks to new wave, musicians who've been through the session mill can return to energetic rock they always wanted to play but couldn't sell, enriching it with their experience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sting FC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42155984912466,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/0549\/6658\/files\/400_6487494e-54fa-49b3-9163-7388cfb39eae.jpg?v=1758314913"},{"product_id":"roxanne-12-reissue","title":"Roxanne, 12'' (Reissue)","description":"","brand":"Sting FC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42155984945234,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/0549\/6658\/files\/400_ea43f793-d379-4fff-9383-2cd7cf36aea8.jpg?v=1758314914"},{"product_id":"can-t-stand-losing-you-7","title":"Can't Stand Losing You, 7''","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Can't Stand Losing You' was a UK and a US single, and featured on the debut album 'Outlandos d'Amour'.

The song was a regular in the set list around 1979 and 1980.

All of which is the right pop patch for a single which sounds like something Tim Buckley would have headed for, via recent dub twists: a little more bittersweet than most. Sting's vocal recalls Buckley as lazy, speedy starsailor; less of a voice than a metaphor. What for? 'Walking back from your house, walking on the moon...'

This was actually the final single released by the Police whilst they were still together. One of the small band of Police tracks that occasionally gets dusted off and played by Sting in concert, for example on the 1991 and 1993 tours. A live solo version of the song recorded in Holland in 1991 can be found on the 'Fields of Gold' single. 'Tea In The Sahara' appears on the 1983 Police album, 'Synchronicity' and a live Police version appears as the B-side to this single. Based on a Paul Bowles story ('The Sheltering Sky'), the track was a popular inclusion in the Police's live set, and one of Sting's favourite songs although he is said to have thought The Police played it too fast. Not too surprising then to see the song included in the set list for his first solo tour in 1985. A live version from that tour recorded in Arnhem can be found on the 'Bring On The Night' album.
