Listen: Sting Releases 'Mercury Falling (Expanded Edition)' Featuring Bonus Tracks

17-time GRAMMY Award winner and Tony Award nominee Sting has released a new Digital-Only special Expanded Edition of fifth full-length solo album, Mercury Falling, in celebration of its 30th anniversary.

Mercury Falling (Expanded Edition) features 19 tracks, many of which were previously unavailable digitally until now. Among the tracklist is Sting’s recording of “Moonlight,” which appeared on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of the 1995 romantic comedy Sabrina. The music for the song was written by 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.”

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 collaboration with longtime producer Hugh Padgham. The album notched two GRAMMY Award nominations in the categories of “Best Pop Vocal Album” and “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance” for “Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot.” 

This is the latest Expanded Edition to be issued from Sting’s catalog. It follows on the heels of last year’s The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (Expanded Edition). Check out the tracklist and listen to it below.
