Product Description

CD Description

�· THE POINTER SISTERS were one of the most successful female groups the music industry has seen with 13 top 20 singles and 8 top 40 albums shared between the US and UK pop charts. The 1983 release of BREAK OUT saw the group reach the peak of their commercial success.

�· This was the group's sixth album with producer RICHARD PERRY, with whom they had three big US Pop hits: FIRE (#2, 1979), HE'S SO SHY (#3, 1980) and SLOW HAND (#2, 1981). With BREAK OUT, the group took the advice of RUTH POINTER's son, who wanted them to record a dance album. PERRY sought out associate producers for each track, giving BREAK OUT the electronic feel of 1983 R&B.

�· The album's lead single I NEED YOU was recorded to reintroduce the group to their African-American fanbase, reaching the R&B Top 20. Second single AUTOMATIC reached #2 R&B and #5 Pop, giving the group their biggest hit for three years and becoming massively successful internationally. JUMP (FOR MY LOVE) followed suit, reaching #3 Pop and R&B in the US and #6 in the UK.

�· Anita, June and Ruth had written I'M SO EXCITED for their previous album, but felt it had not reached its full commercial potential. The single was remixed and rereleased, becoming another Top 10 Pop hit in the US and reaching #11 in the UK. Subsequently, NEUTRON DANCE was selected for the soundtrack to the EDDIE MURPHY movie BEVERLY HILLS COP and was released as a single, giving the group a fourth consecutive US Top 10 Pop hit. Final single BABY COME AND GET IT reached #24 R&B.

�· A new edition of BREAK OUT was released in 1984, including the remix of I'M SO EXCITED. This new edition became the group's first album to be released on CD; the album eventually reached triple platinum status in the US.

�· From its relatively modest performance on release in 1983, BREAK OUT went on to become one of the biggest -selling albums of both 1984 and 1985 in the US, transforming the POINTER SISTERS into pop superstars.

�· BBR is very proud to present this 2CD deluxe edition, featuring the 1983 version of the album (massively successful on its release in the UK) for the first time on CD, plus the updated 1984 version and all of the 12" and 7" versions of each track from the album. Released in a deluxe digipak with 24-page booklet, the extensive liner notes feature interviews with ANITA POINTER, RUTH POINTER, RICHARD PERRY and several of the album's associate producers.

�· This edition of BREAK OUT introduces BBR's new deluxe 2CD re-masters.

There's no doubt that "Breakout" was the most successful album The Sisters released. This is a re-issue with total respect to the buyer's money. Everything is there: single versions, 12'' mixes, alternate versions spread on two CDs packed in luxury. The mastering is good, a pick for the completists. Congratulations to the company for this. If only other re-issues were treated like this one! A gem!

Have just finished playing this mighty 2 disc beast that features both the 1983 and '84 versions of this classic album. It also contains umpteen extended mixes and 7" single tracks. It's been a long time coming but this is absolutely worth the wait. The sound quality is superb throughout. I didn't notice any compression here, not to mention any tracks sourced from vinyl. It's even packaged beautifully in a six panel digipak sleeve with a lavish booklet containing interviews with Richard Perry and the 2 surviving sisters amongst others. It really is a flawless release and I'm notoriously picky! Buy with total confidence and enjoy this superb album once more.

The CD is great and I just love this Pointers Sisters album. Great joice of bonus tracks. Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with the last track on disc 1 (in some cases the last two tracks on disc 1, and in other cases also the last track on disc 2, according to other people who own this CD). Sometimes the CD stops and cannot be played any further and sometimes there are weird noises in these tracks. This is the reason why I gave it only four stars. I can play both CDs on my CD player, but I cannot load the last track of disc 1 into my i-tunes library without some cracking or clicking noises appearing throughout the song.
