The record

Title: Tears for Fears – Songs from the Big Chair
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1985, Pop, Synth-Pop, Bath, England
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Built largely in producer Chris Hughes’ home setup with Ian Stanley—layered up over time like a workshop record, not a quick studio sprint.

  2. Media Narrative: Their “primal therapy” framing got mocked as pop-psych branding, even though it was central to how they explained the band’s mission.

  3. Personal Struggle: Both came from disrupted childhoods; Curt has described growing up poor in a broken home, and Roland tied his writing to early family trauma and anxiety.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
