The Last Ship: Expanded Edition

Sting

2CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
2LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

Coming to 2CD, 2LP, and digital formats ahead of a new series of worldwide performances, this new edition of Sting's 2013 concept album take on The Last Ship offers 20 tracks from the original album release and cast recording, plus five new recordings, all resequenced to better reflect the current version of the score. Those new tracks are a re-recording of the song "Shipyard" (with new vocals by cast member Joe Caffrey alongside those from Jo Lawry and AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson), duets with operatic soprano Renée Fleming ("Ship of State") and another principal cast member, Frances McNamee ("If You Ever See Me Talking to a Sailor"); the outtake "O'Brien's Hymn," and a new take on "Island of Souls," which opens not only the show but Sting's thematically-similar 1991 studio album The Soul Cages.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.​
