About the Book

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.
