AmericanRadioHistory.Com Perren Inks St. Lewis
By SAM SUTHERLAND and SAMUEL GRAHAM ESPIONAGE, INC.: The musical question askedin the June 23 issue of the New Yorker magazine actually soundsmore like the kind of query that used to prompt you to fillthree or four Blue Books fullof nonsense during socialstudies exams. "What's the conspiratorial connection between the CIA, FBI, IRS and The Police?" it asks, which sounds pretty ominous. It turns out that the conspiracy under discussion is the Copeland family: Miles III, who runs the IRS (International RecordSyndicate); Ian, president of the FBI (Frontier Booking International, the subject of a recent RW Dialogue); Stewart, who plays drums for the Police, and their father, Miles II, once an official of the C.I.A.

"Free" and "Do Your Dance," the lead cuts on either side, are both easy grooves to get into, catchy but not overly insistent, and filled out with pretty keyboard playing and big band -sounding horn parts. Jim Burgess mixed both with a pleasing sparkle and fineness of detail, holding them both under five minutes apiece. Also: "Singin' and Dancin'" (4:30) has a slightly harder clavinet/keyboard groove, alternating chanting voices with a tight, tight horn section: "This change should make you move."
