Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994 is the first compilation issued by Sting. It features hit singles from his studio albums The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Nothing Like the Sun, The Soul Cages, and Ten Summoner's Tales. The album features two new songs, "When We Dance" and "This Cowboy Song", which were both released as singles. An alternate version of "We'll Be Together" is also featured. While the liner notes do not mention this, the version of "Why Should I Cry For You" on this compilation differs from the one on The Soul Cages (A&M 75021 6405 2). The 17 track international version contains 5 tracks not included on the 14 track U.S. release, but does not include "Be Still My Beating Heart" or "Fortress Around Your Heart".
