Originally released in 1983, the debut album from Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, otherwise known as Tears For Fears, instantly blasted off one of the most stellar careers of the 1980s. Immaculately produced, stunningly sequenced and comprised of a sequence of timeless electronic pop classics, ‘The Hurting’ sympathetically explored themes of childhood angst, adolescent heartache and the struggles of the transition from boy to man. It also gave birth to four of the era’s essential singles – ‘Suffer The Children’, ‘Pale Shelter’, ‘Change’ and the landmark megahit ‘Mad World’.

Compiled with the full involvement of Roland and Curt, ‘The Hurting – 30th Anniversary Edition’ brings together the original album remastered at Abbey Road studios, plus all of the relevant B-sides, edits and remixes from the period, many of them available for the first time.

The box set: nice A5 cardboard box packaging containing 3 cds and one dvd in card gatefold sleeves (the ones where you have to grip the side of the disc to slide it out, not ideal but ok) nice 'hurting' era fonts and great photos and 2 A5 booklets.

Disc 1: The original album. Exactly as you'd expect, great sound and the picture on the inner gatefold sleeve appears to show Roland recreating the moment the paper arrow speared him in the 'Pale Shelter' video ;)



Disc 2: B-sides and remixes. Would have worked better if they were in chronological order to bring back memories of flipping the disc to hear the b-side but everything you'd ever want is here with the notable exception of 'Saxophones As Opiates' (b-side to the 12" of 'Mad World') - Roland and Curt apparently had track listing approval and didn't want it on here which is a shame. Personal favourites are the original versions of 'Pale Shelter', the instrumental version of 'Suffer The Children' and (who'd have thought it) 'Wino'! Time has been kind to the bastard child of the back catalogue. At the time I thought it was an ironic joke of a song at odds with TFF's cutting edge synth technology and definitely not one to play to impress your mates but its matured better over time (or is that just me?) and really makes you wish they had released more early songs of just acoustic guitar and vocals (sadly no demo versions are included in the box set - do any even still exist?)

Disc 3: live sessions. 4 songs from the Peel sessions and 4 songs from the Jensen Sessions (The Hurting and The Prisoner appear twice and because the recording sessions are weeks apart there isn't a great deal of difference between the two). Also has the live versions of 'Change' and 'Start of the Breakdown' from 'The Way You Are' double 7". They are the only songs in any way connected to 'The Way You Are' that you'll find in this box set. 'The Way You Are' being the bridge between 'The Hurting' and 'Songs From The Big Chair' and, I think, more connected to 'The Hurting' but not a view shared by record company executives.



Disc 4: In My Minds Eye DVD. I remember getting the VHS video of this for Christmas in 1984 and although the computer graphics are dated and sometimes intrusive the overall quality of the production is a lot better than I remember it. The excitement at the time came from the inclusion of new songs 'The Working Hour' and 'Head Over Heels' and despite a repetitive and flat sounding early version of 'Mother's Talk' its a good concert. This concert is very much from 'The Way You Are' period which is ironic as although 'The Way You Are' was part of the set list it was cut from the video!
The definitive concert from 'The Hurting' period is undoubtedly the Rockpalast concert (found on youtube) as that concert features live versions of all of the Hurting tracks ('Watch Me Bleed'!!!! and also 'The Way You Are').
A glaring omission from the DVD are the promo videos for the 3 hit singles (and the hard to find 'The Way You Are'), their inclusion would have made this more of a definitive collection.

Tears For Fears On The Road tour booklet: a reproduction of the 1983 tour programme, a nice curio and typical of all tour programmes with photos but not a great deal of content.

The Hurting booklet: very nicely put together. Some photos were previously featured in the sublime 'tales from the big chair' book but the majority are previously unseen and some are also reproduced in the gatefold sleeves of each disc.
