Yes , There are a ton of TFF profiles but Im dedicating this one to my all time fav album "Songs from The Big Chair" and the Incredible year 1985 was for this band.Enjoy!!Second album released by the British pop band Tears for Fears, and remains their highest selling album to date. Released in 1985, the album included the hit singles: "Mothers Talk", "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Head Over Heels".Once the band had finished a lengthy touring and promotion schedule for the album, they took an extended hiatus from the music industry. In 1989, their third album, The Seeds of Love, marked their return.Track Listing;1)"Shout" (Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley) – 6:33 2)"The Working Hour" (Orzabal, Stanley, Manny Elias) – 6:31 3)"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" (Orzabal, Stanley, Chris Hughes) – 4:11 5)"Mothers Talk" (Orzabal, Stanley) – 5:06 6)"I Believe" (Orzabal) – 4:54 7)"Broken" (Orzabal) – 2:38 8)"Head Over Heels" (Orzabal, Curt Smith) – 4:32 9)"Broken (live)" (Orzabal) – 0:30 Unlisted on vinyl sleeve; later merged with "Head Over Heels". 10)"Listen" (Orzabal, Stanley) – 6:54Tears For Fears
Scenes From the Big Chair
DVD
Scenes From The Big Chair DVD -reissue of the band’s 1985 VHS film. This new DVD is presented in fullscreen but with 2.0 Stereo and 5.1 Surround audio Dolby Digital.The documentary is a cut and paste of concert footage, actual videos, video shoots, interviews, and a sliced look at various places in the tour and other locations. However, the presentation allows for a close look at the band during their most famed period, giving you a glance at the grueling pressures of new found superstardom such as Tears For Fears enjoyed at the time of this documentary. Extras added are a 6-song video jukebox of their videos from the album. There are two versions of “Mothers Talk, ” the standard cut and the US Remix. Finally, there is an interview with their producer of Songs From The Big Chair, Chris Hughes.Importantly, the DVD exhaust the whole affair of Songs From The Big Chair. Fans of Tears For Fears will be happy to own and enjoy the complete album experience.Release Date: May 23, 2006
