Book Reviews of The Police: 1978--1983
Book Review: A wonderful collection for all fans.
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the great things to come from the Police reunion this year is the deluge of new merchadise for collectors and fans of the band who have been starved for such items for years. Lynn Goldsmith's new photobook is certainly one item most of these collectors will surely want to add to their bookshelves, and is certainly a book that is long overdue for release.
Lynn is responsible for many of the most famous, iconic images of the band that we have known for decades. Her previous Police photobook, published in the 80s, contained all black and white images and conveyed a very personal approach to each member of the band. This volume--primarily in bursting color instead of black and white--also features sections of images devoted to singular portraits of Sting, Stewart and Andy, yet it has a more cohesive, group-oriented feel to it. Perhaps it is the inclusion of quotes from the band members themselves that help tie this volume together so well (as compared to the rather pretentious literary quotes that were sprinkled throughout her earlier volume.)
Inside you will also find a lengthy, beautiful collection of images from the Montserrat recording sessions for "Ghost in the Machine"; a collection of "On the Road" pictures; and also early images from New York City, Los Angeles, and London. One is left imagining that surely there are enough photos to fill a book ten times this size in Lynn's archives, but nevertheless what we are treated to here is welcome enough.
