Sting The Dream of Blue Turtles

New Vinyl Masters Cut at the Legendary Abbey Road Studios!

Anyone who ever listened to The Police would know that Sting harbored ambitions beyond the limitations of one particular style. His former band may have come together during the punk and new wave heyday, but their pop nous and incorporation of reggae ensured that they stood out from their contemporaries. And when it came to carving out a solo career, Sting continued to ignore all notion of boundaries.

His debut solo album, 1985's The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, established a unique sound that pushed the limits of what was expected of a pop song, as Sting enlisted jazz heavyweights such as saxophonist Branford Marsalis, later Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones and percussionist Omar Hakim. Centering around the theme of love, the album also included Eddy Grant on congas and was a Top 5 hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
