Timeline

1957

Ian Christopher Stanley (born 28 February 1957) is a British musician, songwriter and record producer.

1980

He was previously a member of Tears for Fears for most of the 1980s, and played a key role in the making of their multi-platinum selling third studio album Songs from the Big Chair.

After offering them free use of his recording facility, Stanley became a member of Tears for Fears, contributing on synthesizers, drum machines, organ, pianos and backing vocals on their first three albums.

Since the 1980s, Stanley has produced such artists as Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, A-ha, The Pretenders, Howard Jones, Ultra, Republica, Naimee Coleman, Stephanie Kirkham, Natalie Imbruglia, Propaganda, The Human League and Tori Amos.

He also contributed to The Sisters of Mercy re-recording of Temple of Love and additional production on Under The Gun.

1983

He also co-wrote (with Roland Orzabal) many of their songs from the period 1983–1985, and was a part of the production team during this era as the band worked with producer Chris Hughes at their studio, The Wool Hall, in Bath.

He has appeared in several Tears for Fears music videos, including "Change" (in which he plays one of the two masked musicians), "Mothers Talk" (version 1 & 3), "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Head over Heels" and "I Believe", and has performed with the band on many television performances.

He also appeared in the 1983 Tears for Fears live video In My Mind's Eye, and the 1985 Tears for Fears documentary film Scenes from the Big Chair, as well as completing two world tours with the band.

1986

Following the success of Songs from the Big Chair, Stanley collaborated with Roland Orzabal on the 1986 side project Mancrab, releasing a single, "Fish for Life", which was made for the soundtrack of the film The Karate Kid Part II.

Stanley also began working on Tears for Fears' third album, The Seeds of Love, but (along with producer Chris Hughes) left the project due to creative differences.

His more prominent contributions to this album, however, can be heard on the hit single "Sowing the Seeds of Love" and the B-sides "Always in the Past" and "My Life in the Suicide Ranks".

He admitted his choice to leave the band was a hard one, but cited several reasons that caused his departure.

The main one being he believed Roland was "accelerating away" from the rest of the band in terms of his vocal power and the proficiency of the instruments he played.

Also around this time he wanted to become a music producer and or make film music.

He has expressed his dislike for their third album The Seeds of Love, stating that Badman's Song is "too long and overdrawn", Advice for the Young at Heart is "lightweight", and that some lines in Woman in Chains are "cheap and throwaway", the main example being "so free her" at the end of the song.

He believed that Tears For Fears were a synth duo, and imagined that their third album would be like Songs From The Big Chair "but with a bit more rock".

1998

Stanley also did A&R for Warners East West Records but left in 1998.

2006

In 2006 Stanley produced The Beautiful South's album Superbi, in part at his Irish studio in Enniskerry, County Wicklow.

2009

In 2009 Stanley joined forces with members of Tears For Fears touring band from 1985 to form "Headshells", with original Tears For Fears drummer Manny Elias, Saxophonist Will Gregory and bassist Lee Gorman.

The band was billed as “Ian Stanley, Manny Elias, Lee Gorman & Will Gregory.” They played one live show at The Grand in Clitheroe to a capacity crowd, but shortly after the event, which was well-received by fans of classic Tears For Fears songs, it was announced on Manny’s official website that they would be too busy to commit to Headshells on an ongoing basis, and so Headshells came to an end.
