The Police : I Can't Stand Losing You
On August 14, 1978 The Police released "Can't Stand Losing You", their first U.K. single to chart although it originally peaked at #42. Originally the song was banned by the BBC because of the cover, a photograph depicting drummer Stewart Copeleand standing on a block of melting ice with a noose around his neck. The song might have performed better, but the band was touring the American East Coast for two months in the fall.
Reissued in 1979, the single would peak at U.K. #2.
The B side was "Dead End Job". Sting gives his most punk-like vocal delivery while Andy Summers reads from the want ads.
