In 1976 with punk rock all the rage a trio called The Police hopped
on board, but bassist/vocalist Sting and drummer Stewart Copeland
had an ulterior motive. They posed as punks in hopes of getting
signed and would then make the sophisticated music they truly
wanted to. With Stewart's brother Miles as manager, the gambit paid
off and the debut single 'Fall Out' was issued in 1977. When
seasoned guitarist Andy Summers saw the band, he forced his way in
which led to Henry Padovani departing and the classic lineup was
now in place. From 1978-1983 The Police released five brilliant
albums that took in rock, reggae, world music and more. By 1983
they'd become the biggest band in the world, but egos and arguments
took their toll and Sting left to become a massive solo success and
the group split in 1986. A reunion tour in 2007-08 broke box office
records and happily closed the door on the band. This book details
every song and album from the first single to the last, making it a
comprehensive guide to the music of one of the greatest bands in
music history with sales of over 100 million worldwide
