O terceiro álbum do Tears for Fears, The Seeds of Love de 1989 - que continha os sucessos "Sowing the Seeds of Love" e "Woman in Chains" - será expandido em uma caixa de cinco discos neste outono. O álbum foi uma das saídas de estúdio mais ambiciosas da banda, uma vez que seguiu sua mega-venda de Songs From the Big Chair - supostamente custou mais de £ 1 milhão para ser feito. O box set contará com o álbum original, remasterizado, singles e B-sides, mixagens alternativas, demos e outtakes. Vinte e duas faixas não foram lançadas anteriormente. Haverá também um Blu-ray contendo uma mixagem de som surround 5.1 do álbum. A coleção “super deluxe”, assim como uma edição reduzida em dois discos, sairá no dia 9 de outubro.

Algumas das raridades da coleção incluem uma versão de “Advice for the Young at Heart”, que apresenta Orzabal em vez de Smith cantando os vocais principais, e a música “Rhythm of Life”, que o grupo presenteou a cantora Oleta Adams - que foi apresentada em “Woman in Chains” - por seu álbum solo Circle of One. A coleção também apresenta gravações de sessões de 1988 com Adams, o baixista Pino Palladino e o baterista Manu Katché, nas quais desenvolveram "Woman in Chains" e "Badman’s Song".

Em 2017, o Tears for Fears lançou sua primeira música nova em mais de uma década, duas faixas do álbum de maiores sucessos Rule the World. Naquela época, Orzabal disse que a banda estava trabalhando em um novo álbum, provisoriamente intitulado The Tipping Point, mas que ainda não se materializou.

---

Tears for Fears’ third album, 1989’s The Seeds of Love — which contained the hits “Sowing the Seeds of Love” and “Woman in Chains” — will be expanded into a five-disc box set this fall. The record was one of the band’s most ambitious studio outings, as it followed up their mega-selling Songs From the Big Chair — it reportedly cost more than £1 million to make. The box set will feature the original album, remastered, singles and B-sides, alternate mixes, demos and outtakes. Twenty-two of the tracks are previously unreleased. There will also be a Blu-ray containing a 5.1 surround-sound mix of the album. The “super deluxe” collection, as well as a pared-down two-disc edition, will come out on October 9th.

Some of the rarities in the collection include a version of “Advice for the Young at Heart,” which features Orzabal instead of Smith singing lead vocals, and the song “Rhythm of Life,” which the group gifted to singer Oleta Adams — who was featured on “Woman in Chains” — for her solo album Circle of One. The collection also features recordings from 1988 sessions with Adams, bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Manu Katché in which they developed “Woman in Chains” and “Badman’s Song.”

In 2017, Tears for Fears released their first new music in more than a decade, two tracks on the greatest-hits album Rule the World. Around that time, Orzabal said the band was working on a new album, tentatively titled The Tipping Point, but it has yet to materialize.
