After splitting with The Police, Sting turned his attention to what has become a very successful solo career. This year marks 40 since the release of Sting’s debut album “The Dream of the Blue Turtles”.
Since the 1985 release, the album has been certified three times platinum.
In collaboration of that release, Sting is releasing a digital only expanded release of the album. Along with the 10 songs on the album, the new release includes 16 bonus songs and mixes – 13 of which were previously unavailable.
The 17 time Grammy Award winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has made the release available across all streaming platforms and is available now.
