THE BREAKERS - Night After Night THE BREAKERS

Long lost ’79-80 recordings by Kim Fowley’s hard rocking Sydney power pop protégés The Breakers brings together fourteen of the band’s best tracks, all studio recordings bar a great live recording of The News classic Sweet Dancer A-Go-Go and a great otherwise unrecorded original called Can You Hear Me Singing On The Radio. Included is the track The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes, which the band appeared performing on stage in a Sydney pub in the cult Australian film Puberty Blues, and superior demo versions of the two tracks featured on their sole single, When I'm On TV and Lipstick And Leather, the latter of which being a Manzie-Fowley co-write rumoured to have later been demoed by Kiss.

Pretty much everything on here could be a hit single, and over the fourteen tracks you'll hear echoes of, in addition to The Innocents, the likes of Cheap Trick, The Cars, The Rubinoos, The Records and even later bands like Candy and Redd Kross.

The LP features a four-page full colour insert featuring numerous images, press clippings and lengthy liner notes by Dave Laing of Ugly Things and Grown Up Wrong! (The CD features the same converted to a 16-page booklet).
