Every Breath You Take/Single

The Police were one of the best bands around in the late 70s and early 80s, in my opinion. They made some truly fantastic songs, most of which feature on this hits CD. There is hardly a bad track on this album at all and they are all classic tracks. Walking On The Moon was one of the very first singles that I ever bought, so I have extra fond memories of that song, in particular. This album was originally released way back in 1986, so it is an old album now, but it still packs a musical punch that most of today's rubbish could learn a thing from. I played this CD all the way through and I loved all of the songs, though it is a pity that the original version of Don't Stand So Close To Me was not included (this album contains the 1986 version of this song). However, it is still a superb CD and I give it the full five stars, because it is relatively flawless. Play it and let the memories come flooding back! They really don't make 'em like this anymore.

Good item, well packaged.

The Police undoubtedly made some marvellous music together (and some pretty ropey stuff too). This CD offers a really enoyable and high quality over view of their single releases. I would expect if you are looking to buy this you will be more than familiar with their string of hits but for the less familiar: from "Roxanne" (I always think of Eddie Murphy in "48 Hours" when I hear that), to "Message In A Bottle" , "Every Breath You Take" and "Walking On The Moon", it's quality and enjoyment all the way. An excellent investment.

Plays ok

Released in 1986, this collection gathers together 13 of The Police's UK chart hits from 1978-1983. So it's a near perfect representation of the best of the band for the casual listener. And coming so early in the CD-era the mastering is excellent, unlike that of some later Police releases which have seen additional digital tamperings. The downside....."Synchronicity 2" (a Top-20 hit from 1983) is not included. Neither is the original 1980 recording of "Don't Stand So Close To Me", instead a 1986 re-recording from an aborted reunion project is used. So that loses the final rating at least one star. If you want all of the band's original singles (aside from their 1977 debut "Fall Out") the "Greatest Hits" compilation from 1992 is a good alternative, also with excellent sound. In conclusion, "Every Breath You Take, The Singles" is a near perfect compilation let down by the aforementioned negative couple of setlist choices. So I'll give it a 4 star rating.

Not one bad song on it, "Don't stand so close to me" 86 is on it which is a great version of the original classic .

All my favourite Police singles for an unbelivable low price, it arrived fast and in good condition, I love Amazon! The version of 'Dont stand so close to me' was different but I liked it. This cd has made driving in the snow, ice, freezing fog, and floods a piece of cake, its kept me sane!

In itself it is a great CD, The Cd arrived within the estimated time, in good postage conditions. Still under plastic packaging Will be a present, i know the person will love

This Police CD replaces my audio tape. Great quality.

Che dire? La prima raccolta dei Police uscita nel lontanissimo 1986 quando Sting aveva già pubblicato il primo album solista, e aveva già molto materiale per il secondo. Questa collezione di tutti i singoli del gruppo sancì di fatto lo scioglimento della band. La raccolta è strepitosa: da Roxane a So Lonely, da Walking on The moon a King of Pain è una carrellata di canzoni dalla qualità superba, anche se secondo me il vertice rimane Every Breath you take, canzone che rasenta la perfezione. Ascolti e riascolti i brani dei Police e rimani rapito ora da quel fraseggio di chitarra, ora da quella linea di basso o dai giochini alla batteria di Copeland. Il disco poi propone la versione di Don’t stand so close to me totalmente riarrangiata dal trio è praticamente introvabile in qualsiasi altra raccolta. Insomma se si vuole una raccolta essenziale e di altissima qualità dei Police questa è la migliore.

Best, best of album out there
