There's many great Police songs that you'll be missing if you get the individual albums or compilation discs first!

Get Message In A Box first, THEN get the remastered individual albums (that are strangely lacking bonus tracks!) (They could have spread all the singles/b-sides/live tracks on the newer Police albums' five discs if they fit on these four discs!)

My FAVORITE BOX SET, hands down, because there's pieces of the ?Police puzzle" that are filled in quite nicely with non-album tracks!

Message in a Box is not EVERYTHING. (And I don't mean those awful rap remixes!)
And don't get me started on the MIA Message in a Box Volume 2!!!

Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings Poster

"This is it: Everything the Police released," boasts the notes in the 66-page booklet included with this box set. Obsessive fans have already written to rock magazines indignantly pointing out the omission of this or that obscurity. But everyone else will find that these four discs include all the Police they'd ever want to own. The first two discs include all of Outlandos d'Amour, Reggatta de Blanc, and Zenyatta Mondatta in their original order, interspersed with live rarities and singles B-sides. Discs 3 and 4 are more satisfying, including the band's well-crafted studio high points, Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity, plus more outtakes and live tunes. The set ends with "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86," a dismal remake of the early favorite. By this point, the musician's egos were running rampant and they were barely speaking. If anyone wonders why the group called it quits so abruptly, this tune makes it clear that the split was smart and timely. --Jim DeRogatis
