I'll Be Watching You: Inside the Police, 1980-83

by Andy Summers

I'll Be Watching You: Inside the Police, 1980-83 Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the early 1980s, The Police went on tour accompanied by a photographer who documented the band behind the scenes in a series of candid and striking black and white photos. This talented photographer also happened to be the band's guitarist, Andy Summers. Yes, it's true — the man responsible for the guitar lick from "Every Breath You Take" was not only the backbone of one of the most popular bands of all time, he also possessed a visual gift for composition and mood that allowed him to capture the spirit of The Police better than anyone else could have.

This book, somewhere between photojournalism and an illustrated diary, follows The Police around the globe between 1980 and 1983. From the American West to Australia to Japan, Summers recorded not only the band members rehearsing and partying — the proverbial sex, drugs, and rock and roll — he also photographed fans, landscapes, still lifes, and passersby in a reportage style reminiscent of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank.

Containing over 600 photos and filled with diary-style entries, I'll Be Watching You is a sumptuous volume beating with musical energy, nostalgia, and atmospheric beauty. A must for photo buffs and Police fans alike.

Contains over 600 photographs personally selected from the photographer's archive of over 25,000 thousand negatives (1980-83) Most photos are previously unpublished, and many of them have never even been printed prior to this project.
