Tears For Fears: Songs from the Big Chair LP

For the first time ever, Songs from the Big Chair appears on colored vinyl with its original alternate cover design. This 2 LP edition also includes a selection of alternate versions and mixes, many of which are making their vinyl debut. A must-have for fans and collectors alike.

Accessible and ambitious, Tears for Fears' phenomenal 10-million-selling second album, Songs from the Big Chair, marked a transition in the band's sound and catapulted them into international prominence. As a group, Tears for Fears led the "Second British Invasion" of pop music in the mid-'80s in both the U.S. and Europe with songs from the album dominating the radio airwaves. In the U.S., "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" led the Songs from the Big Chair single releases, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1985. "Shout" was the band's second single and stayed at No. 1 for three weeks. The album inevitably went straight to No. 1, selling 5-million copies in the U.S. alone.
