Product description

Dive into the debut album of Tears For Fears, "The Hurting," released on March 7, 1983, under EMI. This synthpop and new wave masterpiece spans a captivating 65 minutes, offering a compelling journey through the human psyche. The album kicks off with the poignant "The Hurting" and continues to explore themes of alienation, societal pressures, and personal growth. Standout tracks like "Mad World" and "Pale Shelter" showcase the band's signature blend of atmospheric synths and introspective lyrics, while "Suffer The Children" and "Change" delve into more complex emotional territories. The extended versions of "Pale Shelter," "The Way You Are," and "Change" provide additional depth and texture, making this album a rich and immersive experience. With its haunting melodies and thought-provoking themes, "The Hurting" is a testament to Tears For Fears' unique vision and remains a defining work in the new wave genre.

This is a 2023 Reissue Remastered released as a LP.

  • Brilliant 2019 Supermarket Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    ceavvgkujaviJanuary 5, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Swapped my grubby old UK first press from the 80s for this 2019 supermarket deal at 25 quid, not without some hesitation. Couldn't be happier, it's a brilliant copy, fantastic pressing, flat, quiet and really brings out the dynamics, opening up the soundstage right from the first track, amazing.

  • Phenomenal Album Masterpiece

    Awesome performance. Those West-Germans really nailed it. Yeah!

  • Digitally Mastered Audio Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    nokeboklNovember 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Just as it says on the cover...DIGITALLY MASTERED AUDIO. Came across a pristine copy, and it's packed with incredible details. Super pleased with this version.

  • Clear Sound, Weak Mastering

    4 out of 5 stars
    BgjuriOctober 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The sound quality here is truly impressive - each element is crystal clear and well-defined. That said, the mastering on this record feels a bit... lacking? There's not much depth in the bass, and the mix seems to sit mostly in the mid-range. It's not terrible, just not what I was anticipating. Still, I'd recommend it, as I've heard the original release isn't anything special.
