Why no BOTN Fortress?
Dear Everyone, Why was not Fortress Around Your Heart included in the BOTN album? It is on the BOTN movie. Does anyone have it? Love, Courtney
If I remember correctly, there were a few others besides "fortress" that were NOT on the BOTN album. I don't know them ALL off hand (and perhaps the ones that I list are all of them: don't know for sure) but I do remember that the flick started with "shadows in the rain" (not on album) and ended with an acoustic version of "message" (also not on album). As for "message", while I know that Sting performed it solo at The Secret Policeman's Ball (in 1981 or '82), this version on BOTN was the 1st time that I had ever seen/heard it done like that before. I was blown away and can still see it in my mind.) While a true full length release of BOTN would be most welcomed, I still LOVE the records as it stands, if for no other reason than Sting's playing of b-sides material, both solo and from "his previous band". For me, he never had to put out another live album again after it, but, unfortunately, he did... How can you...explain... shadows in the rain? Rich --- csloan <csloan@vt.edu> wrote:

If you turn the sound right the way up at the end of Tea in the Sahara, you can hear them starting Every Breath You Take. Doubtless there are others.

It never actually made it onto the album, but a medley entitled "Night Mix" exists, blending together If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, Fortress Around Your Heart, I Burn For You, and Bring On The Night. Not sure if these selections came from the video or the concert, but they were some decent renditions (specifically, "If You Love Somebody..."). A shame that they never included the full tracks of these on the album. Steve ______________________________________________________________________________ Stephen V.
