The photographs in this book by Lawrence Impey capture the creation of a world-famous band from their very first time in front of a camera, to the very edge of super stardom. From the band’s first shoot on a London rooftop to the blossoming of the now legendary Police lineup featuring Stewart Copeland, Sting and Andy Summers in a basement, it concludes with a live performance just as they’re breaking into the charts. The 200+ images in this book are truly up-close and personal, revealing and poignant.
Now available for pre-order, the Signature edition comes in a deluxe slipcase and contains the book signed by Lawrence, plus a portrait of The Police taken backstage at a gig in 1978, also signed by the photographer.
