Debut Album on 180g Vinyl Import LP Includes Smash Hit "Roxanne!"
The Polices 1978 debut delivered three smash hits for A&M with "So Lonely," "Can't Stand Losing You" and "Roxanne." With their trademark fusion of reggae and rock, shot through with a definite pop sensibility, their debut still carried traces of their punkier roots, spent trawling the London club circuit of the late 70s. Thus, the album offers a little something for everyone according to Rolling Stone magazine, and featured Loud and energetic rock'n'roll but short and catchy tunes (remember tunes?) with great playing and tight, interesting arrangements according to Smash Hits. A US club tour exposed them to a New Wave audience, and with airplay for Roxanne, helped establish the bands fame across America, reaching its zenith in 1983 with the Polices final studio album, Synchronicity.
