Tears for Fears "The Seeds of Love" Fontana UK LP Rip 96/24 Linear Tracking TT
LP rip at 24-bit/96kHz in Linear Tracking turntable| FLAC x 2 | NO CUE | Hi Res Scans
10 x 100 MB + 51 MB | RS | Fontana UK LP 838 730-1 | Pop/Rock | 1989


Oh, the 80's, how I miss 'em!!!
Here is one of the masterpieces of Pop from the 1980's, orchestrated by none other than Mr. Leo himself, Roland Orzabal, and a crew of top rate musicians, among them the incredible Oletta Adams.
Reportedly costing about 1 million GBP to make at the time, it is one of the few albums that actually sounds like a million bucks!!!!
Also featuring the dubious honor of having up to five 24 track machines synched together to get 100+ separate tracks (let's not even talk about the patch bay!!!), the production here is beyond stellar.
Mixed by David Bascombe in "SuperBascombevision" (or something like that) , there are also mixes by Bob Clearmountain("Woman In chains") that define "State of the Art Recording".
When I got his LP , it was in NM visually, but it was the clickiest thing ever. Fortunately, ClickRepair came to the rescue.
THe "sheen" that permeates this LP is nowhere to be found on any CD version, so , if you TRULY want to listen to this album for the FIRST TIME EVER, as it was supposed to have sounded originally, download and listen to this sonic marvel!

Tracklist:
Side A
A1 Woman In Chains 6:30
A2 Bad Man's Song 8:32
A3 Sowing The Seeds Of Love 6:16
A4 Advice For The Young At Heart 4:52
Side B
B1 Standing On The Corner Of The Third World 5:30
B2 Swords And Knives 6:14
B3 Year Of The Knife 7:06
B4 Famous Last Words 4:23

Notes about the label photo...I received the LP with the label on side B in this condition. The Poster photo is a bonus from the "Woman in Chains" 12" release from 1992.

As usual, the Linear Tracking Turntable reduces the Inner groove Distortion; especially on long LP sides like these.

As opposed to the DVD-A Quad mixes, LP rips are directly from the slab o' vinyl, so , no cue-just like you're playing the LP; look for the song!!!!

Also, for those who may be "Surround inclined", this decodes VERY WELL in "Faux Surround" if you set your receiver to Dolby Pro Logic II Music; Settings: Dimension=+1 , Panorama=On.

Tech talk:
TT: Technics SL-QL1 Linear Tracking
Stylus: Ortofon OMP20
Preamp: Pioneer AV-2SX receiver
Card; MOTU 828 mk II FIREWIRE
Recording Program : Logic Pro
Decode and Post: : Declicked with ClickRepair at real time at settings from 10 (normal) to 60 (Between Songs) and later declicked manually just to make sure...
No EQ or signal processing was used.

if you want to p2p it, please credit me, but
NO MIRRORS

Oh, f*ck, not again....thanks ro koko..
I'll upload it again...
Posted By: reactingreactor Date: 19 Jun 2010 13:27:45
I had the same problem with rar and finally unzipped file succesfully with 7-zip. Try this one and good luck :)
BTW: Thanks empandilla for this upload. Rich and juicy sound thats the way i like it :).
Posted By: empanadilla Date: 19 Jun 2010 14:41:55
Here are 2 different choices to rar file number 3:
http://rapidshare.com/files/400692271/ffftlos.part03.rar.html
and
http://rapidshare.com/files/400697943/ffftlos.part03.rar.html

@ reactingreactor:
yes, I actually GUFFAWED when I dared to the CD to LP comparison, I can't believe the fidelity on this sucker.
Shame that the quality of the vinyl used was so bad cause it's a DMM Mastering, and a beautiful one at that!!!

Sorry- Having problems with part 6. Did download "fixed" part 3. Really wanted to hear your rip. Bummer.

Thanks for the effort you put into this.
Posted By: komiksfan Date: 19 Jun 2010 15:15:19
Yes, I've a problem with part 6, too.
Posted By: ppl1 Date: 19 Jun 2010 15:45:07
Part03 and Part06 are corrupted!
I Was try repair by WinRar.
WinRar cannot repair that files.
Posted By: infernale81 Date: 19 Jun 2010 16:01:17
Hi!

I also have a problem with part 6.
I really hope you can fix it.

Thanks in advance

Here rar 6 again.

So many problems...don't know if it's RS or the RSuploaderX

Let me know if it works!!
Posted By: durant35 Date: 19 Jun 2010 20:18:56
After extracted winrar files, I see only two flac files. How to divide them?
Posted By: beebyte Date: 19 Jun 2010 21:07:30
The replacement files fixed the problem. This rip sounds FANTASTIC and is bringing back memories of how much I love this release. I was lucky enough to be invited to a private listening party when Oletta Adams released her first solo album...just her and a baby grand in a hotel penthouse suite...what memories!
Posted By: infinitykalli Date: 19 Jun 2010 22:14:27
Thanks for this, I'am searching long time.
Posted By: buggly Date: 19 Jun 2010 22:26:51
Thanks for the share, it's appreciated. The lack of a cue file to split and name the tracks is a bummer though.

Sounds good though...
Posted By: layoutpad Date: 19 Jun 2010 22:56:43
Success. Thanks! Sounds great.
Posted By: ManWhoCan Date: 19 Jun 2010 23:39:36

wonderful sound!!! post cue??
Posted By: empanadilla Date: 20 Jun 2010 06:38:28
k'n k sez;
Thanks for the members who reported the bad links.
Thanks to 0pp0 for posting a cue since I don't do them for vinyl rips(grumpy old man that I am :=) ), only for DVDAs-which take a LOT of work...LP rips are another story, it's like playing the LP; as I said, just look for the song.
The sound on this LP is unbelievable and that's why I wanted to share it. There are other LPs I will post eventually that made me "reconvert" back to vinyl (although I never got rid of them)...

@durant35 ;the 2 FLACS are side A and B, just like the LP! :=)
Posted By: Electrotung Date: 20 Jun 2010 07:05:09
Lovely! Indeed,a lovely vinyl transfer,empanadilla. Just was listening to 'Songs From..' vinyl rip by Pbthal the other day and was wondering if I'd ever get the chance to hear this album in full vinyl fidelity. Thank you for your generosity and taking the time to share it here.

Thanks for recording and upping this classic album! I always thought the CD sounded pretty good, but I really can't wait to hear this.

The only good part 3 is one of the posted in the comments;

empanadilla - rest easy - take a break... With this extraordinary share you may now consider a cessation.... you know... take a respite from Walking on Water. Superlative (in every way)! Thank you (Ad infinitum)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Truly BRILLIANT]
Posted By: empanadilla Date: 21 Jun 2010 10:13:59
@ Kolya ;=) you're very welcome and very glad you enjoyed this transfer.
I do these for myself-and I have very high standards!
Maybe I'll post an "unclicked" needledrop so you guys can see how horrible it was originally.
Thankfully , it was most clicks, very little surface noise...
All of the transfers to DVDA have taught me a LOT about declicking manually...
Cheers...

Many thanks for taking time to share this gem :D

Much appreciated
Posted By: empanadilla Date: 21 Jun 2010 16:02:41
Attention everybody:
I WAS WRONG!!!!
THIS IS A DIGITAL RECORDING AND MIXDOWN!!!!!
..put THAT in your pipe and smoke it...
I vote that they DOUSED the LP mix in Harmonic Exciter!!!!
Still...I could have SWORN it was an analog rec/mix....
Cheers!!!

Thank you empanadilla for your effort!
Posted By: tmtomh Date: 22 Jun 2010 20:06:19
Thanks empanadilla for this great post - fantastic album.

To everyone else: I was able to d/l and unpack this with no problems by doing the following:

(1) I d/l'd empanadilla's links for all the parts except 3 and 6.

(2) I d/l'd from the new part 3 and part 6 links in the comments section.

(3) I used ppl1's two cue sheets (in the comments section) - thanks ppl1!

Worked great, and sounds great!
Posted By: dngruss Date: 24 Jun 2010 09:50:11
If you want, you can embed the cues into the file with foobar.

If you need to split the tracks, you can do that in foobar too.
Just use foobar's converter to convert to wave & check "convert each
track to an individual file" and then choose your preferred name format such as
%track%. %title% or w/e.

Foobar can then convert the wavs back to flac or use flac frontend or any other method
you are already familiar with for creating flac files. Tagging can be done with foobar
or a tagging program like mp3tag.

Thanks for the nice rip.

thank you very much for this vinyl rip!
Posted By: mrdon Date: 29 Jun 2010 19:40:43
I am extremely grateful for this since the current digital release is somewhat compressed compared to the original CD and especially the LP.
Posted By: empanadilla Date: 30 Jun 2010 13:41:50
k'n k sez:
you are VERY WELCOME . guys!!!
My pleasure...LOVE THIS LP!!!
The LP is certainly VERY different sounding from any of the CDs....

I haven't had a DSL connection since August last year , so I can not upload (or basically download) anything big. This situation will remain until the bastards at the phone company decide to install a landline in my house., please accept my apologies, Empanadilla.
