History
The Seeds of Love reportedly cost over £1 million (GBP) to produce. It retained the band's epic sound while showing increasing influences ranging from jazz and blues to the Beatles, the last of which can be interpreted in the single "Sowing the Seeds of Love". Another single was "Woman in Chains," on which Phil Collins played drums and Oleta Adams—whom Tears for Fears member Roland Orzabal discovered in a bar in Kansas City and would guide to a successful solo career — shared vocals.
When the band was asked why it took them four years to make the album The Seeds of Love, Orzabal joked, "We're not that good."
A 64 page companion book for the album, entitled Tears for Fears: The Seeds of Love, was released in 1990 by Virgin Books and offers insight into the writing and recording process behind the album.
The album was remastered and reissued in 1999 with four bonus tracks, which were originally B-sides to the album's singles.

“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
