THE POLICE - WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER - 4 TRACKS MAXI SINGLE VINILO ORIGINAL 1983 AM RECORDS

Wrapped Around Your Finger es el segundo single del álbum Synchronicity de la banda británica de Rock The Police, . Fue lanzado a nivel mundial por A&M Records y contó con la pista "Someone To Talk To", compuesta por Andy Summers como Lado B.

Al igual que otras canciones de The Police en este periodo, cuenta con referencias mitológicas y literarias, entre ellos "The Scylla and Charybdis", monstruos de la mitología griega, y la leyenda alemana de "Faust". Tiene una sensación relativamente lenta, casi premonitoria en los versos iniciales, y una sensación triunfante en el estribillo. Alcanzó el número 7 de las listas del Reino Unido en julio de 1983 y fue el cuarto single de Synchronicity en las listas de EE:UU, haciéndolo el #8 de la lista Billboard en marzo de 1984.

El vídeo musical fomenta el sentimiento etéreo que la canción emite, por tener imágenes de la banda tocando a la luz de las velas en un cuarto oscuro, intercaladas con escenas de Sting corriendo entre altos candelabros colocados en una especie de laberinto. Andy Summers aparece tocando una guitarra acústica, un instrumento nunca utilizado en alguna de las grabaciones de The Police.

"Wrapped Around Your Finger" is the second UK single (and fourth US single) from The Police's 1983 album Synchronicity. Written by Sting, it was released worldwide by A&M Records and featured the non-album track "Someone to Talk To" as a B-side in the UK, while a live version of "Tea in the Sahara" was the US B-side.

Wrapped Around Your Finger" was released as the follow-up to the worldwide hit "Every Breath You Take." In Britain, it reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1983,[4] and in the US, it was instead released as the fourth single from Synchronicity (after "Every Breath You Take," "King of Pain," and "Synchronicity II"). The single reached No. 8 on the Billboard chart in March 1984.

The British picture sleeve for "Wrapped Around Your Finger" was released in three colour variations: blue, red, and yellow. The single was also released on a picture disc, featuring the face of either Sting, Andy Summers, or Stewart Copeland.Out of the twelve thousand copies released, however, ten thousand had Sting's face on it, while Summers and Copeland appeared on one thousand each (making the latter two variations somewhat rare.)

The B-side of the song in Britain, "Someone to Talk To," was written by guitarist Andy Summers. Sting refused to provide vocals, leaving Summers to sing. Summers expressed disappointment at this, saying, "Maybe I had just split up from my wife. It was a nice thing I had on the guitar and I was disappointed that Sting wouldn't sing it. That would have given it more of an official stamp. Drummer Stewart Copeland said of this conflict, "Andy did his best on vocals but I too was disappointed that Sting didn't sing it. He was very touchy about lyrics. The American B-side, "Tea in the Sahara" (live), comes from the Synchronicity Tour.
