Solo Career-Spanning 180g Vinyl 11LP Box Set! Cut At Abbey Road Studios!
The Studio Collection is a career-spanning 180g Vinyl 8-Album box set featuring all of Stings seminal solo studio albums brought together for the first time.
The Studio Collection includes 8 albums across 11 LPs The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (1985), ...Nothing Like The Sun (1987) (double LP), The Soul Cages (1991), Ten Summoners Tales (1993), Mercury Falling (1996), Brand New Day (1999) (double LP), Sacred Love (2003) (double LP) and The Last Ship (2013) with both Brand New Day and Sacred Love available on vinyl for the first time ever.
All of the included LPs appear in exact replicas of the original artwork presented in an exceptional slipcase package, with brand new vinyl masters cut at the legendary Abbey Road studios to ensure exceptional audio quality.
Contained within The Studio Collection are some of the most iconic albums and songs of all time, including numerous GRAMMY® Award-winning tracks as well as a plethora of multi-platinum, platinum and gold worldwide awards. Beginning with Stings first solo album, the revelatory The Dream Of The Blue Turtles from 1985 featuring the cream of America's young jazz musicians in a politically-charged set through 2013s The Last Ship, exploring the central themes of homecoming and self-discovery in the North East of England, The Studio Collection showcases Stings meticulous song writing, evocative storytelling, and continual innovation in a ground breaking mix of musical genres and styles that have continually evolved throughout his remarkable career to date.
From perennial favorites 'Englishman In New York', 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You', 'Fields Of Gold', 'Seven Days' and 'Shape of My Heart', to the political 'We Work The Black Seam' and 'Russians', the gospel-tinged 'Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot' and 'Fill Her Up', the bossa nova 'La Belle Dame Sans Regrets' and 'Big Lie Small World', through to the French hip hop of 'Perfect Love...Gone Wrong' and the arabesque 'Desert Rose', The Studio Collection combines the full breadth and power of Sting, the composer, singer, activist and timeless songwriter, on High-Quality Heavyweight 180g Vinyl.
