Songs From The Big Chair (180gm Vinyl) (30th Anniversary Edition)
Tears For Fears are one of the defining bands of the 80’s who have gone on to sell over 30 million albums, spawning over 20 #1 singles.
Recording started on the group’s second studio album, the seminal ‘Songs From The Big Chair,’ in early 1984. The band were keen to create something a little less insular than what had come before and open up the sound – bigger guitars, less reliance on sequencers and technology. Tears For Fears’ willingness to do something different, to expand their musical horizons, aligned to the record label’s natural desire to find a bigger audience and sell even more records, created the phenomenon that was ‘Songs From The Big Chair.’
The album, which contains global mega-hits “Shout” and “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” will be celebrated across a number of formats on this 30th anniversary of a pop masterpiece.
