Here's the 1976 studio project that brought together Sting, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers, who apparently liked one another enough to form the Police a year later. The nine-track disc is light on real musical thrills; most of these songs were penned by abandoned bassist Mike Howlett, and tracks like "Lady of Delight" are styled as bloodless FM rock anthems. "Police Academy" is more education than entertainment, and Police fans will put their ears close to complex tunes like "Electron Romance" to study the developing interplay of Summers and Copeland. The true delights are three featured Sting songs: a stirring acoustic rendition of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," an early, over-the-top take of eventual Police B-side "Visions of the Night" and a live tune called "3 O'Clock Shot," which musically and lyrically foreshadows "Oh My God" from 1983's "Synchronicity."
