This previously unreleased version of the classic single was recorded in 1988 during jam sessions which took place at London’s Townhouse studio. The Super Deluxe box set contains half an hour of unadulterated live-in-the-studio performances, reproduced exactly as it was performed at the time, complete with chatter, laughter and no overdubs. Roland Orzabal recalls the sessions that produced this seven-minute version of Woman In Chains "We got Oleta in and we had Manu Katche on drums and Pino Palladino on bass and started playing live. That was really when the album kicked off, it was really getting Oleta involved. It’s almost like every album needs a key person and one to unlock it. It was incredible; those live sessions were magical." Of the song itself Curt Smith says, “I’ve always loved the song without question. It’s a great sounding record and Oleta was fantastic on it.” Oleta Adams "To this day that is a classic record. Absolutely classic and it was a very personal song Roland had written, inspired by the memory of his mother and things that she had gone through. Not only that, but women in general who are mistreated and held back by male figures and a very strong personality. I guess it could have been therapeutic for him. As we say over here ‘he put his foot in it’ - a lot of heart and soul in that music.” The Seeds Of Love super deluxe box set consists of four CDs and one Blu-Ray, fully tells the story of how this extraordinary album came to be with 22 unreleased tracks from demo sessions, live jams, studio sessions along with a definitive set of b-sides, and rare mixes. Highlights include the Townhouse Jam Sessions, demos of Advice For The Young At Heart with Roland Orzabal singing lead vocal and the recently released demo of Rhythm of Life. The Blu-ray also features a stunning 5.1 mix of the album by Grammy nominated artist Steven Wilson. 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 were 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.

WOMAN IN CHAINS (TOWNHOUSE JAM SESSIONS) - PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACK Super Deluxe Box Set https:// AboutABOUT TEARS FOR FEARS Tear For Fears - Roland Orzabal (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Curt Smith (vocals, bass, keyboards) formed in Bath, England 1981. Beyond selling 30 million albums worldwide, performing to countless sold out audiences, and winning various awards, the duo’s DNA remains embedded within three generations of artists on both subtle and overt levels. Quietly casting a shadow over rock, hip-hop, electronic dance music, indie, and beyond, Kanye West interpolated “Memories Fade” on “The Coldest Winter” from the seminal 808s & Heartbreak, The Weeknd infused “Pale Shelter” into Starboy’s “Secrets,” David Guetta sampled “Change” for “Always,” and Drake utilized “Ideas as Opiates” as the foundation for “Lust For Life,” while Ally Brooke Hernandez, Adam Lambert, and Gary Jules recorded popular covers of “Mad World” and Disturbed took on “Shout,” to name a few. Lorde cut a haunting cover of “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” for the Soundtrack of the blockbuster The Hunger Games – Catching Fire, which Tears For Fears gleefully would use as intro music live and thus bring everything full circle. Meanwhile, classic songs figure prominently everywhere from The Wire and Donnie Darko to Straight Outta Compton and Mr. Robot. Long before, they became a cultural cornerstone Tears For Fears simply consisted of two school friends growing up in Bath, Somerset UK. Representing an inimitable intersection of pop palatability, clever and cognizant lyricism, guitar bombast, and new wave innovation, their 1983 debut The Hurting yielded anthems such as “Mad World,” “Change,” and “Pale Shelter,” reaching RIAA Gold status in the United States. 1985’s Songs from the Big Chair became a watershed moment for the group and music at large. Boasting the signature BRIT Award-winning “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Shout,” “Head over Heels,” “Mothers Talk” and “I Believe (A Soulful Re-Recording),” it went quintuple-platinum and captured #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Slant dubbed it one of “The Best Albums of the 1980s,” it featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and Consequence of Sound awarded it a rare A+ rating in a 20-year retrospective. 1989’s Seeds of Love proved to be Roland and Curt’s last collaboration together until Everybody Loves A Happy Ending in 2004, which rekindled the creative fire between them. The band engaged in a three-year touring whirlwind across North America, Japan, South Korea, Manila, and South America beginning in 2010. 2013 saw them return with their first recorded music in a decade: a cover of Arcade Fire’s “Ready to Start.” The band returned once more in 2017 with “I Love You But I’m Lost” a track written and recorded with the multi-platinum British act Bastille taken from the “Rule The World” best of collection which once more catapulted the band back to the upper echelon of the UK album charts. With more new material and further reissues on the horizon Roland and Curt remain as loud as ever, while yet another generation gets ready to “Shout” with them all over again.
