I really like this box set, 4CDs and a booklet. The music is great I desperately wanted a Police collection. Unfortunately the booklet has been splitted. I would be glad to know it from the item description. It decreases the item value. In the description you wrote "An item that is used but still in very good condition. No damage to the jewel case or item cover, no scuffs, scratches, cracks, or holes." Unfortunately it is not true. However the CDs can be played without any problems, some serious scratches can be seen. Also decreases the value... As I can not take the box in my hand before buying I can expect a true description. I would buy anyway, it just simply worse than expected after reading the description.

This is a great box set. I've been over the moon to listen to all my favourite Police B sides

I am a very big fan of the Police and to to have a Box set Anthology of all their Songs was a good buy.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Surprised to hear vinyl rumble on some of the tracks. It appears that some (perhaps all?) the CD files were lifted from vinyl rather than original masters. The greatest hits compilation doesn't have the same noises (yet was released earlier - go figure!)

For the fans of The Police, this amazing Message In A Box... In 4 Cds, you have all the songs they ever recorded, sometimes in two versions (studio and live as for Tea In The Sahara), with emphasis being put on studio recordings. The quality of the CDs is immaculate. The booklet's very interesting depicting The Police's story in a linear and chronological way, with chapters devoted to each of the three members (Stewart Armstrong Copeland, Gordon Matthew Sumner (Sting) & Andrew James Summers). Henri Padovani, founding member, is also mentionned. The booklet's nicely done with clear texts and beautiful colour & black and white photos. At the end of it, a double page with thumbail colour pictures & information of all their records. The only missing thing is the lyrics to all their songs... A pity as it would otherwise have had really been a FULL STORY. But as these lyrics can be found otherwise, this recording nevertheless enables the listener to enjoy all of The Police in one go. Brilliant!!!Read full review
I bought this because I wanted to get all The Police albums, and since I managed to get this on eBay for about £10, it was an absolute bargain (retail price is £40. Of course at £10 it was much cheaper than buying all the 5 albums separately. You get all the b-sides and non-album tracks thrown in as well. The box and book make a nice package. The only awkward thing is that the book it quite hard to read as the paper is quite stiff and it's stapled into the middle of the box. You need to be very careful not to rip the book from the box. Fortunately my book was already detached from the box, which I guess is why it was cheaper, but it made the book my easier and more enjoyable to read. It's worth reading the book too, as it reasonably frank about the tensions within the band, which is kind of refreshing.Read full review
This is the complete set of Police songs with b sides, live performances, demos, remixes etc If you need one box this is the one as it is also a very good value for money item The book inside is excellent if you want to know more about this great group Pictures are a really added value to the item I bought it again as the copy I had, had been played so many times I needed a new one
The ultimate collection! That's what it is this box. You'll find everything The Police recorded as singles, albums, EPs (actually, I don't know if they ever have relesead EPs :P)! I have just a complaint: why did they split "Reggatta de Blanc" between disc one and two?!?! Why?!?! :) Anyway, if you really like The Police and you haven't got their CDs, buy it!!!
