Tears For Fears - 1999 - The Hurting [Remastered and Expanded] [ torrent

The Hurting is the debut album by British pop band Tears for Fears. It was released on March 25, 1983 and was the group's first #1 on the UK Albums Chart. The album, produced by Chris Hughes and Ross Cullum, showcased synthesizer-based songs with lyrics reflecting Roland Orzabal's bitter childhood and upbringing. The Hurting can be considered Tears for Fears' only true concept album, as references to emotional distress and primal therapy are found in nearly every song. The album itself was a big success and had a lengthy chart run (65 weeks) in the UK, where it reached no.1 - also reaching the Top 20 in several countries and yielded the international hit singles "Mad World" (top 5 hit in South Africa), "Change" (top 30 hit in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy and South Africa), and a re-recorded version of "Pale Shelter" (all of which were top 5 in the UK).

The album was remastered and reissued in 1999. This new release included four remixes as bonus tracks and an extensive booklet which described the recording process of the album.
