The Seeds Of Love |
Initial Release
September 1989 |
Highest Chart Position
UK 1 | US 8 |
|
|
Tears For Fears took a short four year break after the Big Chair tour wrapped up (chuckle), and returned with the jazz/soul/beatlepop fusion that is The Seeds Of Love. The album initially sold well on the back of the title track, but quickly lost momentum. Tensions ran high during the recording and on the subsequent tour, Curt leaving the duo as a result.
