5.0 out of 5 stars Far *Exceeded* My Expectations! BBR Does It Again!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2011

I cannot praise Big Break Records (BBR) enough for their exquisite attention to detail and the loving care that they give to their reissues ( Never Can Say Goodbye [Expanded Edition ],  Odyssey , Special Things , Hot Together (Expanded) , Contact  to name a few) and BREAK OUT DELUXE EXPANDED EDITION 2 CD set from the Pointer Sisters' monster 1984 hit record is no exception.

When I first heard hints that BBR had BREAK OUT on their list of reissues, I was over-joyed. This was my favorite Pointer Sisters album when I was a pre-teen, literally piquing my interest in pop/r&b/rock music, and I have owned it on cassette, record, and CD. I thought that at most, the reissue would include the original album, plus the 12-inch singles that were previously released on  The Pointer Sisters - Greatest Hits . In fact, I would've been happy with just a remastered copy and a few extra-tracks!

But Big Break Records went above and beyond what would've made us fans happy, and produced a stellar 2-CD set that features not only the 12-inch extended versions of the hit singles like "Jump (For My Love)," "Automatic," "I'm So Excited," and "Neutron Dance," among others, it also includes alternate versions of the songs, and the 1983 release of BREAK OUT, with the song "Nightline," and the 1984 re-release -- the one I had -- that replaced "Nightline" with "I'm So Excited." I didn't even know there were two different versions of the album.

For those unfamiliar with BREAK OUT or THE POINTER SISTERS, this album was a huge hit for them in the 80s and spawned 4 top ten hits in the USA and garnered them a new generation of fans like myself. Every track on the album was fantastic and the album was solid throughout. It had a dance/electro pop feel (that was very popular in the 80s), almost bordering on new wave, but it never went too far into that 80's synth sound, and it doesn't sound dated listening to it today. Each song is likable, whether a ballad (though there are only two of those) or uptempo dance tunes, and that's really in part to the remarkable talent and sound of Ruth, June, and Anita. And each sister gets to handle lead vocals throughout so there's a wonderful mix here.

The 2-CD set comes housed in fold out box with album cover art reproduced and a booklet. The booklet has an introduction by famed music producer Richard Perry who produced this album and was responsible for marrying the Pointer Sisters' halleluiah-church-like vocals with a hard rock beat on their first pairing with 1978's  Energy  (not that they needed any help since the Pointers were fully adept to sing almost any type of music from jazz to rock to country to Broadway show tunes to funk). And there's also extensive liner notes by the associate producer on this reissue, writer Christian John Wikane. Both were written in June 2011, and the booklet contains song credits, discography (chart) positions, and color pictures from the BREAK OUT photo shoot and the covers of the singles from various places. The lyrics aren't included, but I'm sure you can find them on the net.

Needless to say, the remastering is fabulous and breathes new life into this classic album. The bass is punchy, the treble is clear, and it sounds as though these songs were recorded yesterday. It's not just louder it's alive with sound! Even on my computer speakers the sound separation is remarkable, sounding as though I'm in the recording booth with them.

If you're a fan of the Pointer Sisters then you should definitely pick this one up. There's enough new stuff here that even if you own the older release of "Break Out" on CD this new BBR version is worth the investment.

And a special shout-out to BREAK OUT's reissue producer, Wayne A. Dickson! Without whom many of these classics would've long been forgotten (but not to us fans).

Now this is how you do a deluxe edition. It's really all here. Breakout was released twice--the second time round, they replaced the song "Night line" with the newly extended remix of "I'm So Excited", a 1982 song that climbed higher on the charts as a result of its 1984 re-release. For years, "Night Line" became the forgotten Breakout track--until now. You get BOTH versions of the album as well as all the fantastic 12" mixes and even the single edits. Sure, it's a little odd that numerous songs are repeated in the same album version on both discs, but hey, as long as they don't leave anything crucial out from this album's success, I won't complain. But if I have one regret here--and it's not the fault of this release--is that the awesome 12" mix of Baby Come and Get It leaves out the totally awesome line "I think I'll take a bubble bath". WHY??? WHY??????

I got this just because I had this on vinyl and this is the remastered version. I had no idea there were two versions of this album, I have the 1984 version, and the 1984 version was remixed and "I'm So Excited" was from a previous album and it replaces an album cut and it fits so perfectly. I was thrilled by the extended remixes too, a couple I had from other compilations but not with this sound quality. This album isn't just essential Pointer Sisters it's an essential album of the 80"s. Don't miss this.

The Pointer Sisters reached a pinnacle with the release of 'Breakout'. It still sounds fresh today.

The album was initially released in 1983 and then re-released to include a remix of 'I'm So Excited' but inexplicably left off 'Nightline'.

This 2cd package includes both releases each with a different track sequence plus extended mixes of the numerous this album produced. An essential package for Pointer Sisters fans and for anyone who appreciates true talent.

WOW! C'est ce que j'ai à dire de cet opus qui est parut en 1983 en plein dans la période funk r'n b.
THE POINTER SISTERS ont vraiment fait évolué la musique avec cet album pas moins de 6 singles ont toppé les charts ce qui n'est pas rien. Cet édition spéciale est vraiment hot car on y retrouve la version de l'album 1983 et la version 1984 plus une chanson bonus et les versions remixés de tous les singles qu'ont à tant aimé. De plus il y a un super beau livret contenant les photos shoot de l'album et des singles et ainsi que l'histoire fulgurante à cette période pour les 3 girls qui chantent à merveille. BREAK OUT est un album d'une grande qualité et cet édition est tout à son honneur!

Nach mehreren erfolgreichen Alben und Top Ten Hits in den US Charts wie "Fire" #2, "He's so shy" #3 und "Slow hand" #2 gelang den Pointer Sisters 1984 mit "Break Out" der Sprung in die Liga der Superstars. Das Album erreichte Platz 8 der Album Charts, wurde in den USA mehr als 3 Millionen mal verkauft und war weltweit ein Hit. Von 6 Singleauskopplungen erreichten 4 die Top Ten. Das Album war im Herbst 1983 erschienen und hatte mit "I need You" einen kleinen Hit. Doch der zweite Song, das funky "Automatic" schoss in den USA auf Platz 5 in England sogar auf Platz 2. Es folgten "Jump" USA #3 England #5, ein Remix von "So excited" USA #9, England #11 sowie "Neuron Dance" USA #6. Die toll aufgemachte aus 2 CD's bestehende "Deluxe Edition" besticht durch sein Remastering, sowie zahlreicher Remixe und Single Versions als Bonus Tracks. Bei CD 1 handelt es sich um die ursprüngliche 1983 Fassung. CD 2 die 1984er Fassung. Aufgrund des großen Erfolges der Singles "Automatic" und "Jump" hatte sich die Plattenfirma nämlich entschlossen "So excited", das bereits 1982 auf dem gleichnahmigen Album erschienen war als "Remix" im Tausch zu dem Titel "Nightline" auf das Album zu setzen, was "Break Out" zusätzlichen Schub verlieh und "So exited" zum Dance Classic machte. Im Vergleich zu den Vorgänger Alben ist "Breakout" deutlich keyboardlastiger und tanzbarer. Neben den Hits stechen insbesondere auch "Telegraph your love" mit seinem sphärischen Keyboardteppich, "Operator" und "Dance electric" heraus. Unter den Bonus Tracks findet sich u.a. auch der 12inch Remix von "So excited" sowie eine Extended Version von "I need You". Das Booklet ist reich ausgestattet mit Fotos zahlreichen, interessanten Hintergrundinformationen, der Entstehungsgeschichte des Albums als auch der Single Cover. Für Fans der Pointer Sisters ein absolutes Muß !

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic reissue of their biggest album
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2012

The Pointer Sisters hit the big time with Break Out. Anyone who is old enough to remember those days will recall how they had one hit after another from the same album. Many bought that album, then, a yer later, with the invention of CDs, we bought the matching CD. Only it didn't match.
The CD was issued with the song Nightline replaced with I'm So Excited. According to Richard Perry, the album producer, Nightline was the song the whole album was based on. It had the feel that became a template for the whole album. Yet when it finally came out on CD they removed the song.
I would recommend this CD set if for no other reason, to hear that song again. As soon as it arrived I played Nightline, and it took me back to 1984. The song is an infectious dance track.
There are a number of tracks that double up on this double CD release. But why you get is the original 10 tracks on one CD, then on the second CD, the 1985 release on CD with I'm So Excited instead of Nightline.
But there's also lots of bonus tracks on each CD covering the numerous remixes that were available on 12 inch vinyl at the time.
The Pointer Sisters never quite hit then heights of Break Out again, but this album is packed with hits, and thankfully, Nightline has been included as it should have been on the original CD.
