Tears For Fears - Songs From The Big Chair - Vinyl Record LP 180g Import

Eight songs, and Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith spent a year of studio time making them sound enormous. Songs From The Big Chair arrived in 1985 and turned two Bath post punk kids with a synthesizer into a band with two American number one singles. The title comes from Sybil, the television film about dissociative identity disorder, which tells you the pair had not entirely left their earlier obsessions behind.

Shout is a protest song people mistake for an anthem. Everybody Wants To Rule The World was written in an afternoon, almost cut from the record, and has outlived nearly everything else from the year. Then there is The Working Hour, six and a half minutes with a saxophone solo that has no business being that good on a synth pop album, and Head Over Heels, which is arguably the best thing here.

This is the 180 gram import pressing. Add it to your order below.
