The very first photograph of the classic line-up of The Police, taken by drummer Stewart Copeland's friend and photographer Lawrence Impey, has been revealed as Impey's new book, The Police Lineup, which is being published by Rocket 88 Books in October.
The photo was taken at Sting's Leicester Square flat an hour after the band had parted ways with original guitarist Hendy Padovani in August 1977, slimming the line-up down to the trio that would go on. to become the world's biggest band in the 1980s.
