The Police - Greatest Hits (Transcribed Scores)

The Police - Greatest Hits (Transcribed Scores) is a book by Shinko Music. It is not based on an album, but rather a compilation of seven songs by The Police. It contains full transcriptions of the seven songs, as well as tablature for the guitar and bass parts.
While the book was released in the USA by Hal Leonard, it was originally made and released in Japan as "The Police - Best Selection (Band Score)" (ザ・ポリス ベスト・セレクション （バンド・スコア）) by Shinko Music. However, the Transcribed Scores book makes no mention of Shinko. Also, the Transcribed Scores version re-engraved all of the music through Sibelius, whereas the original Band Score version was written both by computer and hand. Oddly enough, the Hal Leonard version also got released back in Japan.

== Trivia ==
* In "Roxanne", there is a typo. Instead of "it's a bad way", the book reads, "it's a crime the way."
* In the Japanese version of the book, it credits "Watal" Asanuma for the photo (with Koh Hasebe). His real name is Wataru Asanuma, as the letter L is not used in the Japanese language, and instead is replaced by the character "ru" (る).
