This is a rare, hand-signed CD cover for Sting's critically acclaimed 2016 studio album 57th & 9th — his first rock-focused solo record in over a decade — bearing a bold, authentic ink signature directly on the album artwork. Named after the Manhattan intersection where Sting spent much of his New York City youth, 57th & 9th marked a triumphant return to the artist's rock roots and debuted to international acclaim, making this signed piece a standout artifact from a pivotal chapter in one of music's most enduring careers. Sting, born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, rose to global superstardom as the frontman of The Police before cementing a legendary solo career spanning decades of genre-defying artistry — and this item captures his signature at a defining creative milestone.
