Full Album Listen to "The Dream of Blue Turtles" by STING

"The Dream of the Blue Turtles" is the debut solo album by English musician Sting, released in June 1985.. (Wiki)



My love for "The Police" and hearing the title track "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" on radio, led me to procure the cassette album (still a student was I then, unsure if even the tape was a "licensed release", or a "parallel bootleg" tho :"p).

SIDE ONE TRACKLIST:
1. If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (4:16)
2. Love Is the Seventh Wave (3:32)
3. Russians (3:58)
4. Children's Crusade (5:02)
5. Shadows in the Rain (4:50)
SIDE TWO TRACKLIST:
6. We Work the Black Seam (5:42)
7. Consider Me Gone (4:20)
8. The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1:18)
9. Moon Over Bourbon Street (4:00)
10. Fortress Around Your Heart (4:40)

"Fortress Around Your Heart" is the 10th track of the album (Side 2) which reminded me of "The Police" sonically, and an interesting bridge between the start of his solo career, and being apart of one of my favourite bands of the 80s, IMHO. Seen above is the "Option Two" MV (4:40).
