Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings
All of the Police studio disks, plus bonus outtakes/live

The Police Box Set is one of the few definitive collections that includes nearly everything put out by a recording artist. The listener gets to enjoy the transition from would-be punks evolving to seminal New Wave bleached blonds, and then to arena rockers. I still enjoy their distinctive \"white reggae\" sound as well as fine instrumental performance.
The disks include Outlandos d\'Amour, with great cuts \"Roxanne,\" \"Can\'t Stand Losing You,\" \"So Lonely\" and other early nuggets. Regatta de Blance includes \"Message in a Bottle,\" \"Walking on the Moon,\" and sleeper gems such as \"Bring on the Night,\" \"The Bed\'s too Big Without You,\" and \"Does Everyone Stare.\" These three guys could really rock. Stewart Copeland is one of the finest drummers of his generation. Andy Summers has always been an underrated guitarist. Before going adult contemporary, Sting could really churn some grooves on the bass.
Halfway through disk 2 we get Zenyatta Mondatta, with \"Don\'t Stand So Close to Me,\" \"De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da,\" \"Driven to Tears,\" and some great instrumental jams.
Disk 3 features the excellent Spirits in the Material World, with the title song, \"Every Little Thing She Does is Magic,\" \"Demolition Man,\" and a personal favorite by Stewart Copeland called \"Darkness.\"
Disk 4 covers the Synchronity period, with their biggest hits and the swansong of this great band. It was sad to see the ego battles dissolve the group, but at least these guys went out on top. Well, not counting \"Don\'t Stand So Close To Me \'86.\"
Interspersed are some live cuts and b-side studio outtakes.
My only regret is that the disks do not preserve the original song sequences of the individually released disks, but I can understand from an economic point of view. Still, this is a great set.
