Outlandos D'Amour No Use for a Name Jim Hall on guitarLP Black Vinyl Recorded in chunks over a six month period, Outlandos was released in November 1978 and featured at least three classic Police songs (four if you count the thrash of Next To You) in the shape of Roxanne, Can't Stand Losing You and So Lonely each of which were released and re released as singles. Whilst 1978 may have been the era of late punk The Police's debut was an album that was truly different from what was the then mainstream.
