This sophisticated mid eighties twelve inch single highlights the artistic transition of Sting as he moved into a more jazz influenced solo career following his departure from The Police. The cover features an intense cinematic portrait of the artist set against a deep blue atmospheric backdrop reflecting the moody and nocturnal themes of the lead track. This United Kingdom pressing on the A&M label includes a compelling rendition of The Ballad Of Mack The Knife along with the hit Fortress Around Your Heart providing a bridge between his classic pop sensibilities and new avant garde explorations.

It represents a significant era in contemporary music where high production values met literary songwriting appealing to a sophisticated readership and collectors of definitive eighties pop history. The presence of tracks from the Dream Of The Blue Turtles period ensures this remains a sought after artifact for fans of the era looking to capture the specific aesthetic and sonic quality of high fidelity analog recordings from the mid eighties.
