Reggatta de Blanc is the second studio album by The Police, released in 1979 on A&M Records. The album marked a major artistic leap for the band, expanding their sound beyond punk‑influenced rock into a distinctive fusion of new wave, reggae, and pop rock.

Recorded quickly between tours, the album captures a raw yet confident band refining their identity. Sting’s songwriting dominates, while Andy Summers’ atmospheric guitar textures and Stewart Copeland’s sharply accented drumming give the record its instantly recognisable rhythmic drive.

Key tracks include Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Bring on the Night, The Bed’s Too Big Without You, Contact, and Does Everyone Stare. Both Message in a Bottle and Walking on the Moon reached number one in the UK, cementing the band’s mainstream breakthrough.
