Tears For Fears’ second album Songs From The Big Chair cemented the band as one of the defining forces of the 1980s. Expanding on the promise of their debut, the record paired ambitious songwriting with glossy, widescreen production, producing a set of songs that balanced sharp pop hooks with emotional weight. The album contains some of the group’s most enduring tracks, including Shout, Head Over Heels, and the chart-topping Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Across its mix of synth-driven pop, dramatic ballads, and carefully layered arrangements, Songs From The Big Chair captured both the spirit of its era and a timeless quality that has kept it relevant ever since. A landmark release that showcased the duo’s ambition and skill at their peak, it remains one of the decade’s most celebrated albums. These anniversary editions contain a selection of alternate versions and mixes, many of which are making their vinyl debut.
