If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, 7''
'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free' was the first solo single (if you discount 1981's 'Spread A Little Happiness') and appears on 'The Dream Of The Blue Turtles' album. The single performed much better in the US (#3) than in the UK (#26). The song is said by Sting to have been written as an 'antidote' song to 1983's colossal hit 'Every Breath You Take'. A regular in set lists since 1985, although it has been through a number of variations, the song clearly remains one of Sting's favourites. Several remixes of the track exist - some from as early as 1985, but most of them in 1994 when they were used as bonus tracks on a variety of singles from that era. A nice variation of the single is the Canadian 7" which appeared in a yellow vinyl. The B-side is a rarity in as much as it became a set list staple during the 'Dream Of The Blue Turtles' tour. Described by Sting as a 'despondent song' the track covers similar ground to 'Driven To Tears' and the 'Blue Turtles'' track 'Russians', but for a B-side this is a very strong song indeed. A live version of the track (recorded in Rome) can be found on the double live album 'Bring On The Night'.
