The Six Pack is the title of the collection of seven-inch singles released by rock group The Police in 1980.
The pack, which came in a pvc folder contained the first five hit singles by the band, namely Roxanne, Can't Stand Losing You, So Lonely, Message in a Bottle and Walking on the Moon, plus the mono version of The Bed's Too Big Without You, which was previously unreleased. The records in the pack were all produced on blue vinyl in picture covers with specially adapted labels which featured the heads of the band, rather than the original "A&M" logo. Each single was accompanied by a special picture card.
The release reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart in June 1980, and was a hit after "So Lonely", and before "Don't Stand So Close to Me".
