Police reunion album "would make sense"

The Police's Andy Summers says that it would makes sense for the band to record a reunion album after the band's sold-out world tour ends in 2008.

Summers says that the band has yet to properly discuss any formal recording plans, telling the Associated Press, "Right now it is just the tour and holding everything together, mentally, physically and musically. The tour and the traveling and the playing and the tension you have to keep to do it every night is all-devouring. It is just too much."

Summers was asked about the possibility of he, Sting and Stewart Copeland compiling an album of all their Police-era demo recordings: "That's an interesting idea actually, because I know that (our record label) Universal have got a lot of plans for repackages. I mean, we seem to have put out everything we can get our hands on. There are maybe some bootlegs, or live things out there. I made some fantastic demos that never really got heard. I mean, whether or not I've still got them all is a whole other story, but interesting idea."

The Police's last studio album was 1983's Synchronicity.

Last year Summers published a memoir about his time in the Police, called One Train Later.

The Police perform tonight (October 9th) in Antwerp, Belgium. They'll kick off their next series of U.S. dates on October 31st at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
