The Tears For Fears ‘The Seeds of Love’ deluxe box set is available again
Second chance to grab the acclaimed box set reissue
The previously out-of-print Tears For Fears The Seeds of Love box set is once more available to order.
One of the reissue highlights of 2020, this set features four CDs and a blu-ray audio and offers the remastered album; all the edits, remixes and B-sides; and two CDs of unreleased content, including the superb ‘Townhouse jam sessions’.
The blu-ray features a Steven Wilson lossless 5.1 surround sound mix along with stereo versions of the original Bob Ludwig 1989 mastering and the new remaster.
As most of you will be aware by now, I was deeply involved in this project; I co-compiled the track listing, wrote sleeve notes and interviewed band members, producers and collaborators for an extensive ‘in their own words’ history of The Seeds of Love which features in the 36-page booklet which comes with the box set.
The Seeds of Love box set is available again now.
