Strontium 90: Police Academy is a music album by Strontium 90, released by Mike Howlett in 1997. This album consists of live tracks recorded at Gong's reunion concert in Paris on 28 May 1977, five studio tracks recorded in London just before the concert, and Sting's solo demo of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic". The back cover of the album falsely claims that these recordings "resulted in the birth of The Police"; in fact, The Police had been active for months before any of the recordings were made, save the "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" demo (which none of the Police aside from Sting had any involvement with).
The Police would later re-record "Visions of the Night" and use parts of "3 O'Clock Shit" in two of their later compositions, "Be My Girl" and "O My God".
All songs written by Mike Howlett, except where noted.
The Japanese release (TOCP-50242) and the 2011 reissue contain two extra tracks:
