Originally released in 1983, the debut album from Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, otherwise known as Tears For Fears, instantly blasted off one of the most stellar careers of the 1980s. Immaculately produced, stunningly sequenced and comprised of a sequence of timeless electronic pop classics, ‘The Hurting’ sympathetically explored themes of childhood angst, adolescent heartache and the struggles of the transition from boy to man. It also gave birth to four of the era’s essential singles – ‘Suffer The Children’, ‘Pale Shelter’, ‘Change’ and the landmark megahit ‘Mad World’. Compiled with the full involvement of Roland and Curt, ‘The Hurting – 30th Anniversary Edition’ brings together the original album remastered at Abbey Road studios, plus all of the relevant B-sides, edits and remixes from the period, many of them available for the first time.

Two CD set packed with hits, rarities and album tracks from the '80s duo. The complex pop of Tears For Fears provided an antidote to the excesses of the UK and US hit parades in the middle '80s. Their dark, brooding nature and boundlessly catchy material made the West Country duo some kind of anti-Wham! Their success was enormous, spreading to America where they were to enjoy two No.1 singles and a chart-topping album!. 35 tracks including 'Change', 'Mad World', 'Sowing The Seeds Of Love', 'Shout', 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' and many more.
