A&M, Interscope Records and Deutsche Grammophon have announced the release of
The Complete Studio Collection on June 9th. Encompassing the entirety of
Sting's illustrious solo studio album catalogue on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl –
from his 1985 debut album The Dream Of The Blue Turtles through to the latest
57th & 9th – The Complete Studio Collection is the first ever complete
anthology of Sting's unparalleled solo career.
Following the release of the now sold out The Studio
Collection box set via A&M and Interscope Records, The Complete Studio
Collection includes all of the A&M / Interscope Records catalogue plus his
Deutsche Grammophon discography – Songs From The Labyrinth (2006), If On A
Winter's Night... (2009) and Symphonicities (2010) – in addition to his new
album 57th & 9th; bringing together all 12 solo studio albums for the very
first time.
For fans who purchased the original The Studio Collection
box set, a separate bundle has been specially created entitled The Studio
Collection: Volume II that contains the 4 newly added albums – Songs From The
Labyrinth, If On A Winter's Night..., Symphonicities and 57th & 9th – with
space within the set for all of the remaining albums to create The Complete
Studio Collection.
All of the included catalogue LPs are presented in
meticulous reproductions of their original artwork with new vinyl masters cut
at the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios to ensure the highest possible audio
quality throughout.
The Complete Studio Collection highlights the incredible
full range of Sting's seminal songwriting, inimitable storytelling, and
awe-inspiring arrangements through a myriad of musical styles. From the
jazz-infused politically-charged The Dream Of The Blue Turtles to the deft pop
songcraft of …Nothing Like The Sun, the globetrotting Brand New Day to the
evocative electronica of Sacred Love, through to the exploration of complex
classical forms in Songs From The Labyrinth, expanding in magnitude and concept
on If On A Winter's Night…, and further
developing into the genre-melding orchestral expanse Symphonicities, before
finally culminating in the triumphant return to pop/rock on 57th & 9th; The
Complete Studio Collection showcases all facets of the ever-evolving and truly
inspirational artistry of Sting.
Sting's 57th & 9th World Tour, with special guests The
Last Bandoleros and Joe Sumner, is taking the world by storm with stunningly
rave reviews from fans and critics alike. The guitar-driven rock tour,
featuring a 4-piece band, has seen sold out performances throughout North America

Summer Festival Performances
During the months of June and July, Sting will perform
throughout Europe at a series of festivals and special concert events including
shows in Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Spain, Austria,
Switzerland, Portugal and Italy.
Composer, singer-songwriter, actor, author, and activist
Sting was born in Newcastle, England before moving to London in 1977 to form
The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The band released five
studio albums, earned six Grammy Awards and two Brits, and was inducted into
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
As one of the world's most distinctive solo artists, Sting
has received an additional 10 Grammy Awards, two Brits, a Golden Globe, an
Emmy, four Oscar nominations (most recently for "The Empty Chair"
from JIM: The James Foley Story), a TONY nomination, Billboard Magazine's
Century Award, and MusiCares 2004 Person of the Year. Also a member of the
Songwriters Hall of Fame, in December 2014 he received the Kennedy Center
Honors, and most recently was given The American Music Award of Merit.
Throughout his enduring career, he has sold close to 100 million albums from
his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist.
Sting's support for human rights organizations such as the
Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International and Live Aid mirrors his art in its
universal outreach. Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest
Fund in 1989 to protect both the world's rainforests and the indigenous people
living there. Together they have held 18 benefit concerts to raise funds and
awareness for our planet's endangered resources. Since its inception, the
Rainforest Fund has expanded to a network of interconnected organizations
working in more than 20 countries over three continents.
