Next Episode

Audio Commentary: Ian Stanley/Dave Bascombe (Songs From The Big Chair - Tears For Fears, 1985)

Wow, this is a biggie...and part 14 of the TFF saga....
I have been trying to set this up for the longest time, an audio commentary for simply
one of THE best albums of the 80s with two of the key guys behind it's creation;
Songs From The Big Chair - Tears for Fears with engineer, Dave Bascombe, and co-writer/musician, Ian Stanley
and it's a delight - they were brilliant company and there is so much to enjoy. So much in fact that if you listen through to the end you will get more chat that did not fit within the audio commentary format. Worth checking out for Ian's take on Paul McCartney and Phil Collins' drum fill on Woman in Chains.
Anyway, sync up and play or just listen to a hugely enjoyable interview with two of my very favourite guests. And find out who really is responsible for the first second of EWTRTW.
