All the singles are included, with the exception of "Secret Journey" and '"Don't Stand So Close to Me '86" (however, the original version of the song is included). Even so, it's hard to argue with the wonderful music this band produced, especially before out-of-control ego inflation took permanent sway.After I opened this package, I immediately skipped to 'Driven To Tears', my personal favorite Police song. The Police are due to come to Birmingham's NIA for one night in September but I doubt very much they will be attracting new fans.
Andy Summer's electric guitar vamp is contagious - even after all these years. Thirty nostalgic songs, making it an ideal present for parent's birthdays, but I doubt it will inspire a new audience to become huge Sting followers. The Police weren't childhood friends who struck lucky. The 28 songs bring together the biggest hits from the band's five original studio albums and includes their very first single, 1977's 'Fall Out'.From that rarity to one of the most-remembered and most performed rock ballads of the '80s, 1983's 'Every Breath You Take', The Police spans the group's six-year journey from sweaty clubs to sold-out stadiums - establishing them as one of the definitive and most popular rock groups in the world.Playing with the raw energy of a punk band, the improvisational instincts of a jazz trio, and the infectious spirit of reggae, singer-bassist Sting, guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland were indisputably the most adventurous ambassadors of the genre then known as New Wave.
But Sting's inner feelings, exemplified by 'Wrapped Around Your Finger', eventually butted in and took center stage. Also featured on The Police are 'Driven To Tears', 'Canary In A Coalmine' and 'Voices Inside My Head'.The triple platinum 'Ghost In The Machine' was released in 1981 and peaked at #2 on the U.S. charts (#1 U.K.) with 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' reaching the #3 position (#1 UK) and 'Spirits In The Material World', at #11.
It might be a bit heavy on Sting tunes and light on rarities, but it's not bad for a bunch of blonds.Timing is everything, and you can bet your bottom dollar that this double-CD greatest hits comp was strategically released to coincide with Sting and the boys' sold-out summer reunion tour. 'Message In A Bottle', alone, is more memorable and multi faceted than any modern rock act drum up. The Police is a self-titled compilation album released by The Police on 5 June 2007, to accompany their reunion tour.It contains 28 tracks over two discs, a mixture of hit singles and fan favourites.
This musicianship served them so well that there'd never be a guest appearance on a Police album.Despite being spawned by punk, The Police were too ambitious and sophisticated to be punks. All three of their albums released in this era topped the British charts and when they bowed out at their peak, 1983's 'Synchronicity' had synchronised itself atop the American charts too.These 30 tracks explain why.
Released in 1980, the album hit the US Top 10 (#1 U.K.) with two Top 10 singles including the Grammy-winning track 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' and 'De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da', both of which were UK chart topping singles.
Similarly, his two band mates eventually publicly called Sting out as the "King Of [the] Pain in the neck" he truly was, and then the group imploded.Although The Police entered the public eye during the punk era, this group was never truly punk. The teacher-student sexual tension of 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' offers a rare exception to this sober mood rule. 'Every Breath You Take' is sombre sounding and much more heartfelt than Puff Daddy's awful 'I'll Be Missing You'. So while the hits ('Roxanne', 'Message in a Bottle', 'Walking on the Moon', 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic', 'Every Breath You Take') are here, along with some more idiosyncratic material ('Reggata de Blanc', 'Invisible Sun', and the punky, early-career single 'Fall Out') this can't replace owning the actual albums.
The Police adds the album's 'Invisible Sun' (#2 UK) and 'Demolition Man' to its collection.A year later, The Police returned with the eight times platinum, 'Synchronicity', which reached #1 everywhere, spending a phenomenal 17 weeks atop the U.S charts. Thirty years on, the band are back on the road after announcing last year they were reforming for a special comeback tour, following the likes of The Who and Pink Floyd who have both briefly reformed to generate a bit of extra cash for their pension funds. While we all love a bit of 'So Lonely' (or was it Sue Lawley) and 'Don't Stand So Close to Me', music has moved on considerably since the soft reggae beats of The Police and one can only conclude it has moved on for the better.There have been several single-CD Police compilations.
And the line, "Too many cameras and not enough food," still rings tragically true in our modern, TMZ.com world.
In fact, when they started in 1977, they all had form, apart from soon-to-be-jettisoned Corsican guitarist Henry Padovani.
