RARE STING THE DREAM OF THE BLUE TURTLES Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Japan 1985 AUDIOPHILE Out-of-Print LP/RECORD MFSL 1-185 Low Number
I recently found this in a record store. It is not sealed in the original plastic, but it looks like no one has ever touched anything. No fingerprints or anything, besides mine now. The cover is perfect and the gatefold will hardly open, which tells me no one has probably opened it. The record is in a pristine static free slip and that slip is inside another fold out telling about the many cassettes and such MFSL has available, in 1985. This fold out that encases the record slip looks pristine also. The fold out with photographs from the album will hardly open up also, which tells me it is practically out of the factory, but this rare audio treasure has been out of print for 25 years. Most importantly the record is in pristine condition. The record is packaged in a resealable mylar bag and will stay in there until I ship it to the lucky winner. I did not play the record because it looks perfect and I do not want anything to happen to this beautiful set before I sell it to the lucky person that will add it to their audiophile collection, and this record IS A MUST!

Sting had a lot to prove on his first post-Police effort, and he proved himself up to the task of establishing a distinctive identity as a solo artist. Instead of replicating his reggae-tinged Police style, he ventured into new realms, hiring top drawer American jazz musicians like Branford Marsalis from the home of Jazz (New Orleans), Kenny Kirkland and drum monster Omar Hakim to accompany him on the kind of harmonically sophisticated (though decidedly non-jazz) tunes he'd begun working on towards the end of the Police's lifetime (see SYNCHRONICITY). There's still a touch of reggae on the open-hearted "Love Is the Seventh Wave," and even a funked-up version of the formerly abstract Police tune "Shadows In The Rain," but most of the tunes here (except the pop smash "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" are the kind of literate, adult-friendly sophisto-pop that would become a template for his subsequent solo recordings. BLUE TURTLES still stands as one of his most memorable albums.
