Description
The Police Every Album Every Song by Peter Braidis In 1976, a pivotal moment in music history, The Police embarked on a bold strategy. Disguising themselves as punks, the band's core members - Sting and Stewart Copeland - aimed to gain a record deal. With Stewart's brother Miles as their manager, the plan paid off, and their debut single, 'Fall Out', was released in 1977. The addition of seasoned guitarist Andy Summers brought a new dynamic, and the classic lineup was complete. The Police's subsequent five albums, spanning from 1978 to 1983, showcased their versatility, incorporating elements of rock, reggae, and world music. The band's popularity soared, but internal tensions eventually led to Sting's departure and the group's split in 1986. A reunion tour in 2007-08 brought closure to the band's history, with sales of over 100 million worldwide. This comprehensive guide provides a detailed account of every song and album in The Police's discography, from their debut single to their final release.
