Brimstone & Treacle is the soundtrack for the 1982 film adaptation of the play Brimstone and Treacle starring Denis Enholm and Sting. Sting and The Police wrote most of the original material on the album. The rest of the soundtrack was made of songs by other acts signed to A&M like the The Go-Go's and the Squeeze and a couple of traditional songs performed by the Finchley Children's Music Group and the ad-hoc formed Brimstone Chorale. I Burn for You was a song Sting had presented to the Police for inclusion in the band's third album Zenyatta Mondatta two years earlier but the song was deemed unsuitable for the musical direction the band was taking and rejected. Stewart Copeland's roadie Jeff Seitz played drums on Only You while the voice of actress Suzanne Hamilton can be heard on The Police's A Kind of Loving. Sting's cover of "Spread a Little Happiness" was released as a single and it reached number 16 in the UK charts.^[1] The title track was also awarded the 1984 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance, making Sting a three-times winner in this particular category, THe Police being recipients of the award in 1980 and 1981. Sting would later perform I Burn for You live during his The Dream of the Turtles tour in 1985.
