Tears For Fears – The Seeds of Love (3-CD)
Product Details
Four years in the making, "The Seeds of Love" arrived in 1989 as a clear departure from the synth-driven sound that had made Tears for Fears famous, with Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith leaning into lush orchestration, gospel-tinged soul, and sprawling studio experimentation. The recording sessions famously drew on contributions from jazz pianist Oleta Adams, whose voice and piano became central to the album's emotional architecture. This deluxe edition gives the full picture of one of the most ambitious production undertakings of its era.
The Seeds of Love is the acclaimed third studio album from Tears for Fears, originally released in September 1989. A commercial and critical triumph, it debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and achieved platinum certification from the BPI within just three weeks. In the United States, the album reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and was also certified platinum, while charting in the Top 10 across numerous countries worldwide. Widely regarded as one of the defining albums of the 1980s, The Seeds of Love features some of the band’s most celebrated recordings, including the hit singles “Sowing the Seeds of Love,” “Woman in Chains,” and “Advice for the Young at Heart.” This expansive Deluxe 3CD edition features the original album alongside the essential B-sides, alternate mixes, and rare recordings from the era. Presented in a deluxe digipack, it includes a booklet with interviews Paul Sinclair conducted with band members and key contributors to the album. Limited Edition.
