New Releases by Big Break Records!

[rhessel]

Hi guys:

I was checking the amazon.uk and found some new releases on Big Break Records.

The choice of titles of the discs is excellent and I sincerely hope that they have properly set the volume level during the remastering. Otherwise, there will be a great disappointment to release these albums, with a final quality not desirable.

BTW: I just ordered mine, because I'll bet that the problems occurring in the remastering of the two releases of Gloria Gaynor have been resolved.

1) Tavares - New Directions (Expanded Edition)

Tavares charted many Soul and Disco classics on the Capitol label in the seventies with hits such as Check It Out, She's Gone, It Only Takes A Minute, Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel, Don't Take Away the Music, Who dunnit and More Than A Woman. New Directions was their confident 1982 debut on RCA Records. The album became their longest running album on the US R&B chart at an impressive 30 weeks. Singles include the timeless ballad A Penny For Your Thoughts which returned them to the US Pop Top 40 for the first time since 1978 as well as becoming an international hit.
The further R&B hit and club classic Got To Find My Way Back To You is also featured here in its original and 12" Remix form. Features four bonus tracks and interviews with the Tavares family
