Product Description

Tears For Fears' debut album, "The Hurting," released on March 7, 1983, under EMI, is a seminal work in the new wave and synthpop genres. Clocking in at just over an hour, this album is a compelling exploration of human emotions and societal issues, wrapped in a blend of synth-driven melodies and introspective lyrics.

The album opens with "The Hurting," setting the tone for the introspective journey that follows.

The album also features extended versions of several tracks, offering a deeper dive into the band's musical prowess.

"The Hurting" is a testament to Tears For Fears' ability to blend personal and universal themes, creating a sound that is both deeply personal and widely relatable. From the raw emotion of "Suffer The Children" to the reflective "Change," the album is a powerful exploration of the human condition.

  • Brilliant 2019 Supermarket Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    ceavvgkujavi5 January 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

  • Digitally Mastered Audio Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    nokebokl7 November 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
    Bgjuri27 October 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.
