Tears for Fears

Songs from the Big Chair Tears for Fears Japan Import edition

Tears For Fears had their heyday in the 1980s - and only a few albums were released before founders Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith parted ways. But with songs like Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World, they wrote songs for the ages. A mixture of dreamy melodies and catchy lyrics ensured the band's commercial breakthrough. The two Brits borrowed their band name from the so-called primary therapy of psychologist Arthur Janov. This theory states that childhood neglect can be the cause of psychological problems in adulthood. Tears for Fears transformed the impressions of their childhood into raw, expressive songs that mixed tenderness and openness, seriousness and melancholy.

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums' master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L'Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. - Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector's items for the Japanese market.
