Location: London, England, UK - Pathway Studios
Attendees: The Police, John Cale

The Police record at Pathway Studios again - this time with John Cale as producer. They recorded an early version of Dead End Job plus two vocal takes of Visions Of The Night - a combination of those 2 vocal takes were later used on the Walking On The Moon 7"-single.

Note: Vocal Take 1 featured alternate lyrics, whilst Vocal Take 2 featured the same lyrics as the authourised version.

John Cale was drunk and reading the papers most of the time. Sting was quite upset...

John didn't like Andy Summers - so he wanted Henry Padovani to do the guitar solos which Andy didn't accept.. In the end John said that Andy should do the solos with Henry's guitar.
