Tears For Fears  Songs From the Big Chair  MFSL Numbered Limited Edition LP

Tears for Fears Songs From the Big Chair on numbered limited edition LP

1985 smash includes chart-topping hits "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Shout"

Few songs in the mid-80s attained bigger status than Tears for Fears' contagious hits "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Shout." As commercial breakthroughs, the singles drew attention to the meticulous detail and sophisticated arrangements gracing Songs From the Big Chair, a creative maelstrom of emotional catharsis, dreamy melodicism, and magnetic lyricism. Having hit the top of the album charts in most major countries, the 1985 album remains a staple of the decade's essential sounds and a critically beloved work.

This Silver Label LP brings a warmth and transparency to the music that previous analog editions have lacked. By clearing a direct path to the production, it reveals the myriad soulful complexities contained within tracks such as "Mothers Talk" and "Head Over Heels," also charting hits. Dramatic, literate, immediate, refined, and subtly elaborate, the material glistens with carefully placed instrumentation. Here, the depth of the piano chords, extension of the brassy horns, high frequencies of the backing vocals, and bite of the guitar solos come to life as never before.

Named after psychotherapist Arthur Janov's primal scream theories — which suggest that adult problems often relate back to parental abandonment during childhood, and that confronting such issues is essential to one's development — Tears for Fears, and key members Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith transcended their broken-home backgrounds by turning their raw feelings into self-expressive songs etched with equal parts tenderness and directness, earnestness and melancholy. After a promising synthpop-based debut, the duo took its finely crafted art up several notches on Songs From the Big Chair, one of the period's most introspective and incisive pop works.

Tears For Fears The Seeds Of Love MFSL Numbered Limited Edition LP

 Numbered, Limited Edition! Pressed at RTI!

Meticulously Produced 1989 Orchestral Pop Work Includes Top 40 Hits “Sowing the Seeds of Love” and “Woman In Chains”

Vocalist Oleta Adams Debuts and Aids English Pop-Rock Duo’s Pursuit of Soul, Gospel Strains

Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI: LP Brings Intricate Melodicism to Foreground

Having elected to defy tradition and wait four years to release a follow-up to their commercial breakthrough Songs From the Big Chair, Tears for Fears expand their creative prowess on The Seeds of Love. Opting for grand melodies over radio-targeted hooks and reflecting a slightly sunnier disposition, the compositions establish an even closer relationship to soulful roots and hint at gospel undercurrents. The duo, too, also discovered a secret weapon in the person of Oleta Adams.

Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this Silver Label LP resolves with striking clarity and precision the countless layers of orchestral-themed information that pack jazzy fare such as “Standing on the Corner of the Third World” and balladic turns like “Year of the Knife.” Distinguished with sumptuous production techniques that reportedly cost more than one million pounds to realize, the album benefits from the enhanced spaciousness, bigger soundstages, increased atmospherics, and amplified dynamic contrasts afforded by this audiophile collector’s edition.

While again pursuing themes associated emotional hurt and healing, Tears for Fears take a more grandiose turn on arrangements steeped in suite-like forms and epic pop psychedelia. Adams lends warmth via her gospel-shot vocals as well as her female presence. She grounds songs with a combination of gentle poignancy and soaring theatricality, bringing a can’t-miss energy to rigorously crafted works that aim for a lasting transcendence independent of radio interest.

Of course, with the proudly bombastic “Sowing the Seeds of Love” and “Woman In Chains,” Tears for Fears again found chart-scraping success, the hits rewards for uncompromising boldness and this record’s expertly polished sound. The group’s sonic evolution is also apparent on the album cover: an eye-popping, colorful montage suggestive of the music’s harlequin textures and stylish devices replaces the stark, grey-hued image carried by its predecessor. Here’s a set that you can fairly judge by the cover.

"Mobile Fidelity performed commendably on this new edition, bringing the classic to market in perfect shape... The bottom end is well sorted and the hallmark MoFi quality is here in spades. Our test sample is flat, quiet, and centered, and features excellent reproduction of the original artwork... [U]unless you can be assured a perfect original, the Silver Label LP is the way to go. Grading these on a numerical scale, with a mint UK original at 100 and an immaculate US original 95, the Silver Label ranks 91. Pretty damn good." - Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio Magazine, No. 52, January 2013
