433 The Police - Reggatta De Blanc
from 1001 Album Club · host Birch
In October of 1979 The Police released their sophomore album. The album title roughly translates from French to "White Reggae" and sounds as such. Recorded over the course of four weeks at various times between February to August of the same year, the band was under no time crunch to produce and as a result the album is more polished than it's predecessor; earning the band it's first Grammy for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" on the title track. Let's talk The Police, Reggatta De Blanc!
