Released on 17/08/09. Raoul and the Kings of Spain is the fifth album by the British pop-rock band Tears For Fears. Like the prior album “Elemental”, it is essentially a solo effort by Roland Orzabel. The album was originally scheduled to be released by Mercury records but the project was cancelled after Tears For Fears left the label to sign with Sony. The album features a return by Oleta Adams, who duets with Orzabal on the track ‘Me and My Big Ideas’.

Raoul And The Kings Of Spain / Falling Down / Secrets / God's Mistake / Sketches Of Pain / Los Reyes Católicos / Sorry / Humdrum And Humble / I Choose You / Don't Drink The Water / Me And My Big Ideas / Los Reyes Católicos" (Reprise) / Bonus Tracks - All Of The Angels / The Madness Of Roland / Queen Of Compromise / Until I Drown / War Of Attrition / Raoul And The Kings Of Spain (Acoustic) / Break It Down Again (Acoustic)

I'm hoping they remaster this properly as that would be the only reason i would buy this as i have the original. The extra tracks i have no need for as i have all the CD singles from that album though they are very good. Find it strange they never considered reissuing Elemental. It's being released on Cherry Pop btw.

Thanks for the info. I have the album on CD but don't have any of the singles, so will definitely get this [:D]

Want to hear how this sounds from you guys first before i buy.
