Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith spent more than three years on The Seeds of Love, the third studio album by Tears For Fears; the long production and scrapped sessions cost over a million pounds. The result sounds broader than their earlier synth-pop, with soul, jazz and a healthy dose of the Beatles in the single Sowing the Seeds of Love. On Woman in Chains, Oleta Adams duets with Orzabal, with Phil Collins on drums; it became her first hit. Badman's Song, Advice for the Young at Heart and Famous Last Words are also on the album, which entered the UK Albums Chart at number one.

This edition is a 3-CD set.
