To coincide with the comeback tour for The Police, Universal Music has compiled a new best of spanning the 30 year period from which the classic rock band began.
The collection is based on the five studio albums the band produced as well as their very first single 'Fall Out' from 1977.Despite the enormous success that the band achieved, they were only together for 6 years. Their last show was in Melbourne, Australia in 1984. "It was sort of the official end because we did get back together and do those six dates with the Amnesty tour in '86," Andy Summers told Undercover News. "We did like a covert appearance where we appeared two years later. It was sort of the end but it wasn't. I remember that gig very well. It was a poignant moment because we all knew we were breaking up but the audience didn't know".
