NotesLimited Edition 2 x LP pressing on 180-gram vinyl includes three bonus tracks. A&M Records. 2021.
Excellent album by Sting in Deluxe Edition with outstanding Captain Bateman's Basement bonus track.
That's a very fine sounding record! Rich and deep stereo experience! Nice bass punch like is normally on Made in USA records. I'm not a big fan of Made in France records in general.
They are fine yet at an average fine level a bit on a flat side. Yet, this particular Made in France release is an excellent work in overall. You can't beat it for the money. Sound wise, I like that single release white 180 gram vinyl Made in France record a little more than this double vinyl deluxe edition one. But, don't take me wrong, the deluxe edition sounds excellent as well. And, with the deluxe edition, you've got 3 bonus records! One of them, the Captain Bateman's Basement is an outstanding composition emphasizing bass solo. It's a "must have" for anyone liking Sting music and his performance for the bass guitar's been his main musical instrument. And, Sting's been a great bass guitarist overall. This short composition having no any lyrics but vocal improvising over the bass guitar leading part is an example of outstanding bass guitarists performance and composing skills. Compare to best compositions and performance say by Marcus Miller, Richard Bona, Victor Wooten and others. So, you get this outstanding extra piece, the Captain Bateman's Basement comparing to the regular single vinyl edition. If you like Sting, buy this Deluxe album. For the money, it's just one the best release out of all albums released for last few years.
