I am looking to add the Police albums to my vinyl collection.
Which one would you start with, and why?
Either of the first two albums, for no other reason, that they are the best and an introduction to the unique rhythms, beat and timing of their music.
They represent to me the end of punk (which was a necessary purging of the self-satisfied AOR bands of the time) and the start of something new.
only one i bought was a live triple album.. certifiable.
Reggatta de Blanc is pretty good
I think the Greatest Hits album is their best one.
'Greatest hits' albums always are the best, but they are usually a distillation of several albums.
I have "Regatta de Blanc", "Every Breath You Take: The Singles", and "The Very Best of Sting and The Police", and that's all the Police I'll ever need. Somebody on here recently described The Police as more of a singles band, and I would tend to agree with that.
I haven't listened to it since I once heard it on a car journey when I was at school, but Synchronicity struck me as a good album and a bit different from the earlier ones, almost like a concept album.
Thanks.
I have just bought "Regatta de Blanc" and "Every Breath You Take: The Singles" from Discogs.
