Tears For Fears - The Hurting
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the release of one of the all-time great debut albums, The Hurting by Tears for Fears featuring the hit singles ‘Mad World’, ‘Change’ and ‘Pale Shelter’. I’m happy to say that I have remixed the album for the occasion in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and instrumental stereo.
The Dolby Atmos mix will be available for streaming, but the 5.1 and instrumental mixes will be included (along with the Atmos mix) on a limited edition standalone blu-ray audio disc issued by Virgin/UMR and exclusively for sale via superdeluxeedition.com.
The blu-ray will additionally feature the original stereo master. As if that wasn’t enough my stereo mixes of two recently rediscovered earlier recordings of ‘Mad World’ & ‘Watch Me Bleed’ made at sessions with producer Mike Howlett prior to the album versions will also be exclusive to the blu-ray. These tracks were found on the multitrack reels, possibly having never been mixed before. Even Roland and Curt had not heard them for 40 years!
The blu-ray will be released on 12th May and will only be available from superdeluxeedition.com. It will be pressed based on demand and because of the short lead time between now and going to press you have just a 10 day pre-order window to make sure you get a copy. If you like this album this is surely the definitive version, so don’t miss out!
