“Synchronicity” by The Police is a landmark (and the last) album by the power trio who burst onto the music scene in 1978. Shedding whatever new wave and ska roots the band cultivated when they started, “Synchronicity” has become an iconic record since it was released on June 17, 1983. Forty years later, Planet LP Host Ted Asregadoo and Popdose writer Keith Creighton talk about the lasting impact of “Synchronicity” in the first segment.

The second segment is all about new music releases for June 2023 — which includes music by the following:

Brian May and Eddie Van Halen

Foo Fighters

Love and Rockets

Rick Springfield

Matchbox Twenty

Sparkle Jets UK

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Amanda Shires

Kenny Rogers

Dimestore Darlings

Allison Goldfrapp

Niall Horan

In the third segment, Ted and Keith discuss why so many great albums sound so lousy.

It’s a packed episode — but that’s because we’re all about value here at Planet LP.
