Tears For Fears Announce The Seeds Of Love Box Set With Previously Unreleased Tracks

Tears For Fears have announced a super deluxe box set reissue of their 1989 studio album The Seeds Of Love. “Out of all our albums, I’d probably rank it highest,” Roland Orzabal says. “I think it surprised a lot of people, a lot of our peers as well, people who maybe we were being compared to in the mid-Eighties.”

The super deluxe box set consists of four CDs and one Blu-Ray, with the original album remastered at Abbey Road alongside 22 unreleased tracks of demos, live jams, studio sessions, B-sides, and rare mixes. Highlights include demos of “Advice For The Young At Heart” with Roland Orzabal on lead vocal and “Rhythm Of Life,” which was cut from the album and later recorded by Oleta Adams.
