Editorial Reviews

International star Sting has sold millions of albums worldwide, including the original 2006 release of Songs from the Labyrinth which has sold over 250,000 copies in the US alone. On the album, Sting, in collaboration with lutenist Edin Karamazov, interweaves songs, instrumentals and a few short recitations by Elizabethan composer John Dowland, one of England's greatest songwriters. This special bonus edition includes three new tracks: Fields of Gold, Message in a Bottle and Robert Johnson's Have You Seen the Bright Lily Grow. The first two tracks were recorded live in New York in 2006, and the third is a new studio version recorded by Sting in Tuscany in September 2006. According to Classic FM: "it's a must for his fans."
