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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
