Close between Ghost & Regatta.

But Regatta won because it was the first Police album I bought

I think regatta de blanc is the best, then ghost. I think zenyatta is the worst. As a 10 year old i thought zenyatta's cover sucked.

I couldn't disagree more. As a 15 year old I loved the Zenyatta cover, and I still do. :)

I love Zenyatta's double inner cover... the photo-collage, the artwork outside .. not that much really!

Ghost and Regatta are the best... I went with Ghost, it's so creative.

I love the shadowing on Regatta - that's a great pic, but I love the insert for Zenyatta. Back in the day, I actually bought two copies, so I could have one intact and could take the other and cut up all of those pictures to hang on my walls.

I vote for Regatta de Blanc.

I like blue colors cover , and also Stewart's face. He looks different but really handsome!

:wink:

I hate the Zenyatta cover, it screams 80's, and I don't like the Ghost cover much either. My order goes Reggatta, Synchronicity, Outlandos, Ghost, Zenyatta.

I'll be the lone wierdo...I'm used to the role :)...I voted for Synchronicity...was my first Police album, bought it when it came out...stared at that cover for hours...loved all the pics...was really crazy-wild into Synchronicity I and II videos...thought the style was "bitchin" in the parlance of the time...now I may have come to like the others better, but that cannot make up for this one and how much I loved it at the time!

I just remembered I borrowed a shirt from one of my friends that was just a picture of the three blond heads in high school...I can't remember what ever became of it...was it Zenyatta or Regatta? can't remember...sure wish I still had it...or hope I gave it back! :)

the album cover differs for synchronicity. The album i bought had a picture of the three of them wearing sunglasses whereas the usual synchronicity album cover has lots of pictures of the three of them on the cover.

Really? Are you sure that's not the 'Greatest Hits' cover?

I bought a tape version of syncronicity in about 1990 and the cover was the same one that was used for the greatest hits. Where they where sunglasses and pose for the cameraman. I swear i'm telling the truth. That's why i was disappointed when i saw the standard cover for synchronicity as it has no impact as there are lots of pictures of each member.

Agreed.

GHOST was my first CD (waaaay back in 1987) and my second Police album.


On this subject, anyone know why [url=http://www.nordfly.com/ProductImages/poli/160f.jpg]the original cover art for OUTLANDO[/url]S was changed when [url=http://andysummers.com/graphics/POL01%20Outlandos-LG.jpg]the CD[/url] was released?
