And the rest? 'Reggatta De Blanc' is a wonderful instrumental that excellently showcases the Police as a band (well, okay, they all excellently showcase the Police as a band, but here, you won't have Sting vocals taking you away from the instrumental prowess of the band members). It rocks and swings, and while my rough ear actually perceives the number as one of the least reggae-influenced tracks on the record, the drive and atmospherics are undeniable. What the hell is "white reggae", anyway? We didn't have no friggin' "white blues", at least, we who don't invent this term as a scarecrow for Eric Clapton fans; why do we need a "white reggae", then? Never mind...
