The album Klark Kent was released in 1980. This album produced the band’s first two number one singles “Message in a Bottle” and “Walking on the Moon.”Īt the same time, Copeland was also recording with The Blue Kit for his solo project using the pseudonym, Klark Kent. In 1979, The Police recorded their second album, Reggatta De Blanc, again using The Blue Kit in the studio and on the road. The album produced four top-ten singles: “Roxanne,” “Next to You,” “So Lonely,” and “Can’t Stand Losing You.” The band spent a year touring in the USA and Europe promoting the album. In 1978, the band took The Blue Kit to Surrey Sound Studios to record their debut album, Outlandos D’ Amour. The kit was also used in the studio as The Police recorded their first single, “Fall Out/ Nothing Achieving.” Throughout 1977, the drums were hauled in and out of small venues as the band played their first shows around the UK and Europe. The first batch of Police songs were written, rehearsed, and gigged using The Blue Kit. Later in 1976, Copeland met Sting, and invited him to move to London to join his new band, The Police. At the time, Copeland was drumming in the British prog-rock group Curved Air. This drum kit, affectionately called “The Blue Kit,” was given to Copeland by Tama in 1976 when the 23-year-old first became sponsored by the brand.
