The photographs in this book by Lawrence Impey capture some very special moments in rock music history – the creation of a world-famous band. From their very 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, there’s also a live performance captured on camera just as The Police are breaking into the charts. Together they tell a unique, up-close and personal tale unlike any other.
This Ultimate edition of just 100 books is now available for pre-order. It contains the book signed by Lawrence in a clamshell box, with three limited edition fine art prints – one of Stewart Copeland taken at his home in 1977 which is numbered and signed by Stewart, one of Andy taken in Sting’s basement in 1977, numbered and signed, plus one of the trio in Sting’s basement that same year, numbered and signed by Lawrence.
