Sting - Demolition Man (Soundtrack) (1993)

"Demolition Man" is an EP released on September 21, 1993 in support of the Sylvester Stallone/Wesley Snipes film "Demolition Man". It features Sting's re-recording of The Police track "Demolition Man", a track that originally unveiled itself on The Police's "Ghost In The Machine" album, as well as several live recordings. The live recordings were recorded at Villa Manin, Codroipo, Italy on 25 July 1993. Even though this EP has 6 tracks... the "live" recordings are a must for any Sting fan. The live tracks were mostly recorded during the Ten Summoner's Tales Tour... And if you've ever seen Sting in concert, you know that there is ALOT of music in each song...meaning, you're not getting 6 four minute songs... It's a nice enjoyable lengthy EP. The updated studio version of the Police song "Demolition Man" is also a must have. Live version of the Police's "King of Pain," and an inexplicable and unconvincing lite jazz version of the Beatles' "A Day in the Life." While not an essential purchase, Sting completists will want it, and the whole further substantiates the notion of Sting as a pop music superman.  Sting's performance of "Demolition Man" was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as "Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo."
