The album "Regatta De Blanc" by The Police was released by A & M Records. It is the second studio album by the English rock band, originally released in 1979. The album features a mix of reggae-infused rock and new wave sound, showcasing the band's unique style and musical versatility.

With hits like "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon," "Regatta De Blanc" quickly became a commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and earning critical acclaim worldwide. The album showcases the band's tight musicianship, with Sting's distinctive vocals and bass playing, Andy Summers' intricate guitar work, and Stewart Copeland's dynamic drumming.

The title of the album is derived from French maritime signal flags that translate to "white regatta." This nautical theme is reflected in both the album cover artwork and some of the song lyrics.

"Regatta De Blanc" captures The Police at their creative peak, blending catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics. From energetic tracks like "It's Alright for You" to more introspective songs like "No Time This Time," each song offers something unique while maintaining a cohesive sound that defines The Police's signature style.

Overall, "Regatta De Blanc" is a must-have for fans of The Police or anyone looking to explore their iconic discography. With its infectious blend of rock, reggae, and new wave influences, this album continues to stand the test of time as a classic example of 70s music at its best.
