Sting’s 1987 album ‘Nothing Like The Sun’ has expanded from its original 12 songs to 26 in a new 35th anniversary digital only edition.
Yes, while true that Universal have once again totally missed the point that Sting fans want a physical edition, they can at least phone in this new money-grab via a streaming service.
Sting commented, “I look back on this album, and I realize that the record is about my mother, although I didn’t see it at the time. It’s about mothers and daughters, mistresses and wives, sisters… Every song has one of these themes. It surprised me.” Sting’s mother sadly passed away in late 1986, not long before four months’ worth of intensive recording sessions for the next album got underway in earnest at AIR Studios in Montserrat in early 1987.”
