Breakwater, more than just No Limit


THE BREAKWATER WEBSITE

It's about time I paid homage to Breakwater.  Formed in 1971 in Philadelphia;  they have been consistently been the most played artist in my iTunes.  They are the perfect soulful disco act that has not been overexposed.  Basically they never really had a hit.  I have a feeling that they were more re-discovered then anything.  Those ebay collectors sure know how to make a record out, but it does go in phases.  What was once a huge seller that got super high bids may later become common and will sell for far less.  LISTEN TO BREAKWATER BY CLICKING HERE


Tracklist

Work It Out5:46
You Know I Love You4:41
Unnecessary Business5:46

Their debut 12 inch release, the white label promo double A side of No Limit and Do it til the fluid gets hot is highly collectible and fetches a pretty penny whenever it comes around.

ANOTHER LINK FOR THE ALBUM


This zip that I'm posting is lower quality then I usually post.  When I get around to it I'll post a better quality version and I might even expand the post to include their second l.p. too.  i don't listen to that one quite as much but it's also a solid release.

I'd rather jack then Fleetwood Mac Reynolds Girls



How freakin' camp is this?  Stock, Aitken and Waterman really stepped it up a notch with this one.  A sister act The Reynolds Girls took it all the way up to #8 in 1989.  The beat is like drilling something into your mind you hear it twice and you can hear it over and over in your mind for the rest of your life!  And those lyrics, how audacious, how over the top, how naughty.  What a scream.  LISTEN TO I'D RATHER JACK HERE



Apparently it was a tongue in cheek against the critics who didn't consider S,A and W talented and completely ignored them at the Brit Awards year after year.  They got a lot of criticism and many considered this record to be amazingly naff but come on they were only 18 and 16 years old.
