General Interest

RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2015 . 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 groups sixth album with producer RICHARD PERRY, with whom they had three big US Pop hits: FIRE (2, 1979), HES SO SHY (3, 1980) and SLOW HAND (2, 1981). With BREAK OUT, the group took the advice of RUTH POINTERs 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 albums 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 IM 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 IM SO EXCITED. This new edition became the groups 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 albums associate producers.
