June 1985
38 CD, 3MC, 2LP
As you probably know, the first Sting solo album was issued in 1985, at a time CD was not as usual as today. There is a lot more LP released than CD.

The CD was issued around 1988 worldwide, in 1985/86 in Japan. The design was adpated from the LP, and so on there is 2 slightly differences:
- some have the same sleeve as the LP ("The dream of the blue" is written in little - called little title sleeve).
- some have the title in bigger, on all the size of the sleeve (called big title sleeve)

Also, there is some variation on the colours of the sleeve, from blue to grey, lighter or darker...

The booklet is a leaflet with lyrics and Sting pictures, all in black & white with blue colours.

My favourit item is the japanese gold promo CD.
