vocals in Tears for Fears' history" and "their most ambitious production". Appraising the 2020 reissue for Record Collector, John Earls alluded to Orzabal's "obsessive determination to achieve Steely Dan levels of technical perfection", while crediting his "melodic gifts" with preventing the album from "becoming too overblown". On the other hand, Ira Robbins of Trouser Press had praise for the title track and Adams's soulful vocals, but described the bulk of the album as "absurdly overintellectualized" and "almost impenetrable". 30th anniversary reissue Following the reissue campaigns of The Hurting (2013) and Songs from the Big Chair (2014), in October 2020, the remastered super deluxe edition of The Seeds of Love was released in several formats, including B-sides, remixes, 22 previously unreleased recordings, and a 5.1 surround sound mix. Paul Sinclair of the website Super Deluxe Edition co-compiled the track listing, and interviewed band members, producers and collaborators for the extensive sleeve notes of the edition. Track listing Note A remix of "Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams" was also released as a separate single in the UK in 1991 and reached number 70 on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart. 2020 Super Deluxe Edition Personnel Tears for Fears Roland Orzabal – lead vocals (1-3, 5–8), backing vocals, guitars, keyboards, Fairlight programming Curt Smith – bass guitar, backing vocals, co-lead vocals (3), lead vocals (4) Ian Stanley – keyboards and Hammond organ (1, 3, 10) Additional personnel Oleta Adams – keyboards, female vocal (1, 2), acoustic piano (2, 5), backing vocals (5, 12) Nicky Holland – keyboards, backing vocals (2, 4, 7), acoustic piano (4, 6, 8), Kurzweil strings (8) Simon Clark – keyboards, synthesizers (2, 5), Hammond organ (2, 4, 5, 7) Neil Taylor – guitar (1), rhythm guitar (7) Robbie McIntosh – lead guitar (2, 7), slide guitar (2) Randy Jacobs – guitar Pino Palladino – bass (2, 5) Phil Collins – drums (1 from 3:32) Manu Katché – drums (2, 5) Chris Hughes – drums and production (3, 10) Simon Phillips – drums (7 from 5:04) Luís Jardim – percussion Carole Steele – percussion (2, 5) Richard Niles – orchestral arrangements (3) Jon Hassell – trumpet (5, 8) Peter Hope-Evans – harmonica (5) Kate St John – saxophone (6), oboe (6) Tessa Niles – backing vocals (2, 5, 7), female vocal (6) Carol Kenyon – backing vocals (2, 5, 7) Maggie Ryder
