Album Description
The Police celebrate the 30th anniversary of their recording debut with their first double-disc CD "best of" collection entitled, The Police. The 28 songs bring together the biggest hits from the band's five original studio albums and includes their very first single, 1977's "Fall Out." From that rarity to one of the most-remembered and most performed rock ballads of the `80s, 1983's "Every Breath You Take," The Police spans the group's six-year journey from sweaty clubs to sold-out stadiums - establishing them as one of the definitive and most popular rock groups in the world.

 A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE........ THE POLICE AND THE MEDIA September 15, 2008
0 out of 11 found this review helpful
Police fans should be dismissed as lunatics or at the very least avoided. Back in the 80's, The Police were given such a loving pat on the head by critics. I could only come to one conclusion. As with new wave, the mainstream were hoping the Police's brand of inoffensive music would put a more acceptable image on punk rock. The reality was their gutless music was generally just a cut above soft rock and lyrically they were irrelevant compared to many REAL punk bands.
Lo and behold the masses ate it up and went a step further putting a phony like Sting on a pedestal, as a spokesperson for indigenous populations of South America.
If commercially intended wimpy soft rock is your thing, then any Police CD will go well with your boring middle class friends, cheap beer and colored sweaters. Get a life!
p.s Their is now a cure for insomnia.......any of Sting's solo CD's.
Great collection June 13, 2008
All the hits in one album. It just makes you realize how good these guys are. Some people prefer the songs in their original album context, but in these days of music pick n' mix, it really doesn't matter. What you're getting is the best of the Police at a great price - can't argue with that!
 Great selection, fair sound May 27, 2008

My title sums it up. This collection is a nice balance of Top 40, rock radio hits, and album tracks from the Police. My only gripe is the uneven quality of the recordings. Given the available remastering technology I expected a fuller, richer sound. It's okay, ... but that's also it's shortcoming...it's JUST okay.
Where's the Beef? April 28, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
2 CD's....only 20 songs? And the 20 most obvious songs to boot. Where's the beef?!?!?! What a waste of money. The Police are a 5 Star band and deserve better than this meer sampler product. If all you want are the hits, this is for you. If you want The Police, spend your $$ on one of their original CD's. The CD reeks of a record company wanting to make a few more bucks off of the unsuspecting.
