THE POLICE "reggatta de blanc" cd/vinyl 1979
their second of five...
the translation from Froggy to Brit means "white reggae"....
songs arent so urgent and ferocious as their punky debut,
more mellow and ska/reggae-cum-pop here...
the instrumental title track sounds a lot like 'syncronicity II' in places, it also won the band their first Grammy for best rock instrumental.
track9, Contact, has a genuine New Wave groove happening.
album contains the hit singles "message in a bottle" and "walking on the moon" but theres far better tracks on here than those like singles three and four: "the beds too big without you" and "bring on the night"
album sold an impressive 8 million copies to date
all up though a great album that rates 2.4 on the MH rating system but only ranks as my third favorite of theirs
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
