Well of course there are the two big singles. I have them on the A & B side of a reissue single, one of the earliest I remember getting.
Then years I discovered my fave Police song of all time years later, When the World is Running Down.....INSANE list followers will recall it placed VERY high, much higher than other Police songs.
Such a cool tune, even mentioning James Brown on the TAMI Show!

Never owned the album so the only songs I'm familiar with are the hits and they of course are excellent , I have them on a couple of different mix tapes.
Faves - Don't Stand So Close To Me and De Do Do Do De Da Da Da.

My fave album of theirs. My cabinmate had this at my summer camp in '81, so lots of memories.
Faves:
De do do do de da da da
Don't stand so close to me
When the world is running down...
Canary in a coalmine
Behind my camel
Man in a suitcase
Voices inside my head
Driven to tears

I've always liked the singles from this album, but some of the album cuts are quite good also. |

Faves - Don't Stand So Close To Me and De Do Do Do De Da Da Da. I remember hearing both of those songs back in 7th grade and being really impressed. I don't remember 'Roxanne' very well from when it was current, so that was my first real introduction to their music. I still have an old cassette from '81 or '82 with 'De Do Do Do' on it! |

Canary in a coalmine Behind my camel Man in a suitcase Voices inside my head Driven to tears I actually just got this album (on cassette) fairly recently, but I've been really impressed with it. They had such a unique sound. 'Driven to Tears' is one of my favorite album cuts. |
