Reviews4 stars (out of 5) - "...THE HURTING remains a landmark work....dated by the real saxophone on 'Ideas As Opiates' and 'Memories Fade' as by the crashing programmed rhythms and Fairlight whistling ...it's nonetheless a highly emotional pop record...", Ranked #14 in Cmj's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1983."
Bought this to replace a missing revised 1 disc edition. Unfortunately as this came out in 2013 they are getting hard to get hold off. So prices seem to be a bit on the high side, even for used copies.
