Today, 17-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee Sting, managed by Martin Kierszenbaum/Cherrytree Music Company, celebrates the 30th anniversary of his GRAMMY® Award-nominated and Platinum-Certified fifth full-length solo album, Mercury Falling, with the release of a new Digital-Only special Expanded Edition available on all streaming platforms via UMe.

Mercury Falling (Expanded Edition) notably features 19 tracks, many of which were previously unavailable digitally until now. Among the treasure trove of extras, fans will find Sting’s recording of “Moonlight,” which famously graced the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of the 1995 romantic comedy Sabrina. The music for the song was written by legendary composer John Williams with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and garnered nominations at both the Academy® Awards and the GRAMMY® Awards. Beyond the inclusion of various B-sides and sought-after remixes, this Expanded Edition concludes with three live recordings from TFI Friday of staples “You Still Touch Me,” “Lithium Sunset,” and “Message In A Bottle.”

Exactly thirty years ago, the original Mercury Falling arrived on March 4, 1996. It reached the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. The record would also be Sting’s third successive collaboration with long-time producer Hugh Padgham, marking a milestone in their nineties creative renaissance together. The album notched two GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of “Best Pop Vocal Album” and “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance” for the standout “Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot.” Upon arrival, Entertainment Weekly bestowed an “A-“ grade on the LP and affirmed, “few pop musicians engage our emotions as fully as Sting.”

This is the latest Expanded Edition to be issued from Sting’s illustrious catalogue. It follows on the heels of last year’s The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (Expanded Edition).
