{"product_id":"sting-ten-summoners-tales-180g-black-vinyl-lp","title":"Sting - Ten Summoner's Tales [180g Black Vinyl LP]","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eSting brings wit, romance, and varied musical styles to his fourth solo album, \u003cem\u003eTen Summoner's Tales\u003c\/em\u003e. The songs grew from writing sessions at his country home, where storytelling replaced the darker personal themes of The Soul Cages. Pop Rock melodies sit alongside jazz-informed rhythms, acoustic guitar, and occasional folk instrumentation. Sting recorded the album with guitarist Dominic Miller, keyboardist David Sancious, and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening song, \"If I Ever Lose My Faith in You,\" sets questions about belief against a buoyant chorus and keyboards. \"Fields of Gold\" slows the pace with acoustic guitar, Northumbrian pipes, and a lyric about lasting love. On \"Seven Days,\" Sting turns romantic indecision into a playful countdown, supported by Vinnie Colaiuta's shifting drum pattern. \"Shape of My Heart\" turns quieter, pairing Dominic Miller's repeating guitar figure with a card player's search for meaning beyond winning or losing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title plays on Sting's surname, Sumner, and the summoner in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. Its songs examine doubt, affection, and moral choices. Sting and Hugh Padgham produced the sessions, with horns, harmonica, and Northumbrian pipes joining the core band. The 180g black vinyl record was cut at Abbey Road Studios and reproduces the album's original album cover artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandout tracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Fields of Gold\", \"If I Ever Lose My Faith in You\", \"Shape of My Heart\", \"Seven Days\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing details:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180g Black Vinyl, Abbey Road Studios Vinyl Cut, Original Cover Artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\/style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pop Rock, Soft Rock, Adult Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731454007511\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe humor of \"Love Is Stronger Than Justice\" and the unsettling story in \"Saint Augustine in Hell\" extend the album beyond love songs.
