Why This Record Matters
The Dream Of The Blue Turtles marked Sting's successful solo debut following his departure from The Police. Blending pop, jazz, and sophisticated songwriting, the album produced enduring favorites including “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free,” “Russians,” and “Fortress Around Your Heart.” Original US pressings remain popular with collectors of 1980s rock and jazz-rock.
