COMMENT : Over thirty years on from its original release, Tears For Fears\' third long-player The Seeds Of Love has taken on mythical status for its scope, ambition, timeless musicality, and the fact that it took over four years to record.

For music fans and audiophiles the world over, the album continues to astound aged a day. As Roland Orzabal puts it, \"Out of all our albums, I\'d probably rank it highest. 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.\" Curt Smith \"The tracks I liked then, I still like now. \'Woman in Chains,\' \'Badman\'s Song,\' \'Sowing the Seeds of Love,\' and \'Advice For The Young At Heart\' have all stuck around. We still play those live.\"
Coming off the back of the ten million-selling Songs From The Big Chair, The first writing sessions for The Seeds Of Love started when the band was touring in 1985, making use of soundchecks to sketch the outlines of new songs. Over the next four years, Roland and Curt would work with several producers, engineers, and many musicians before finally deciding to produce the album themselves with assistance from their Songs From The Big Chair engineer Dave Bascombe.
A key person in the making of the album was pianist and singer Oleta Adams, who Roland and Curt had seen play in the bar of their hotel while touring in 1985. She joined the Manu Katch and bass player Pino Palladino and would play a massive part in songs such as \"Woman In Chains\" and \"Badman\'s Song.\" These sessions in 1988 are perhaps the most fascinating tapes unearthed for the boxset. These jams took place at London\'s Townhouse complete with chatter, some laughter, and no overdubs. These jams include very different versions of \"Woman in Chains,\" \"Badman\'s Song,\" \"Standing On The Corner Of The Third World,\" and \"Rhythm of Life.\"

While the band was pleased with these sessions, there was still at least another year of mix was finished in New York in the summer of 1989.
All of the efforts that went into the making of The Seeds Of Love certainly paid off as it is now hailed as a classic of the time, alongside albums such as Talk Talk\'s Spirit Of Eden. The Seeds Of Love was released in the 80\'s, but it remains anything but an \"80\'s album.\"
