Dreadful album
This is a dreadful record - it was awful when it was released and it's still awful after all these years. The sad thing is that when it came out there was a lot of brilliant music around, which didn't have anything like the success that this poor excuse for music did - if you want to hear meaningful reggae by a white group go and listen to The Clash's 'White Man in Hammersmith Palais' not this AOR New wave-lite rubbish. br / br /The truth about the Police is that they cynically exploited the influence of New Wave and Reggae for commercial gain and it worked for them - it's music for people who don't really like music. Forget this record - go check out the Fall, Joy Division, Wire or any of the decent New Wave/punk bands who came out of the late seventies.

Great album!
br /This was one of the Police's best albums. br / br /I always found I was more impressed with their earlier hits such as; 'Roxanne', 'So Lonely' and 'Can't Stand Losing You' - all of which are included on this album. Surprisingly, none of these great songs made it to number one - as much of their later material did, indeed 'Roxanne' did not even reach the Top Ten... br / br /In my experience, A M produced some of the poorest quality vinyl in terms of surface, and often the LP records were extremely thin, and so it was of a slight compensation to find that this album was released in limited blue vinyl at the time, and has since become a Collector's Item. br / br /Ten great tracks here, and any early Police fan would not be disappointed. br / br / br /

variety is the spice of life
this was the first album i bought when i was 16 years old, and im as impressed with it now as i was then. roxanne still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! there is such a variation, from next to you to the incredible masoko tango, the white reggae sound was amazing! this was the beginning of an incredibly successful band, and for me this and regatta de blanc were the stand out albums from there catalogue, this first album is raw and exciting and i would highly recomend it?

The start of things to come
Just like J. Munro says, 'every Police album gets 5 stars'. The first creation from the very talented threesome. You can tell on a couple of tracks that they are still finding their feet with their creativity, songs like Be My Girl Sally and Born In The 50's. But there are the really great songs such as Roxanne, Can't Stand Losing You and Hole In My Life. The more you listen to The Police, the more you appreciate how extremely talented they are. Great songs, great bass, great drums, great guitar and great vocals. What more could anybody want?
