Tears For Fears - The Seeds Of Love (Blue Marbled Vinyl) 2LP Available at Bennies Fifties and the online Fifties Store Tears For Fears - The Seeds Of Love is one of the most ambitious and celebrated pop albums of the 1980s. Originally released in September 1989, it is the third studio album by British duo Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Featuring lush arrangements, sophisticated production and a remarkable blend of pop, rock, soul and jazz, the album has become a timeless classic. Following the worldwide success of Songs From The Big Chair in 1985, Tears For Fears pursued an even more ambitious musical direction. The result was a richly layered album filled with powerful melodies, intricate compositions and outstanding instrumental performances. The Seeds Of Love features some of the band's most celebrated recordings, including “Sowing The Seeds Of Love”, “Woman In Chains”, “Advice For The Young At Heart” and “Badman's Song”. The emotional “Woman In Chains”, featuring a memorable vocal performance by Oleta Adams, remains one of the album's defining moments. The international hit “Sowing The Seeds Of Love” reflects the influence of 1960s psychedelic pop, while tracks such as “Badman's Song” and “Standing On The Corner Of The Third World” demonstrate the band's remarkable musical versatility. The album became a major commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart.
