Date: 1980-08-17
Location: Strawberry Studios South, Dorking, UK
Attendees: The Police, Eric Stewart

The Police Royan concert ended around 12:30AM and then the band headed to their hotel. At 10:00AM they're at the airport - flying to London. Around 11:00AM they land at Heathrow airport.

They drive to Strawberry Studios South to re-mix their LP Zenyatta Mondatta. In the evening they split and Stewart Copeland eats a curry meal at an Indian restaurant. He was already sick when they flew back to France the next day. So drum roadie Jeff Seitz had to replace him at next day's concert in Biarritz.

The reasons for Zenyatta Mondatta's remix were different EQ settings between European and UK machines and trusting the flattering montitors inside Wisseloord Studios. The mix didn't sound good anywhere else.
