Their best album by far IMO, and I have them all on vinyl and this on cd also.
Sting always said he admired Paul Weller for disbanding The Jam at their peak and he intended doing the same with Police.
BTW,
The Jam split with a UK #1 album,their last three UK singles were #1, #2 and #1, plus a string of nights at Wembley Stadium,
It don't get bigger than that in the UK.
Both Weller and Sting have been offered huge amounts of money to reform their bands over the years...the Police did reform a few years ago for a world tour but Weller refuses to reform The Jam citing 'it wouldn't be the same, that magic wouldn't be there',
For me, it would be good but after seeing the reformed Police, I'd probably be disappointed with the result.
The past should remain just that...pleasant memories.
