At the same time, the British band were enjoying their first chart success in the UK with “Roxanne” and “Message In A Bottle. They were young, hungry, and ready to break big. As Andy Summers enthuses in the liner notes, “Like Napoleon, we wanted the world. Out of the messy and fervent atmosphere in London at that time we conceived the idea to go all around the world and film the whole adventure. As far as we knew no rock band, at least, had ever done that. We had just about enough popularity to get booked around the globe. Plans were made.” And the rest is history…beautifully captured in The Police: Around The World Restored & Expanded.
