Limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on crystal clear & pink mixed coloured 180 gram audiophile vinyl, Breakin' Away is a great follow-up of Soul crooner Al Jarreau to his previous album This Time. The album was released in 1981 and became the standard bearer of the L. A. Pop and R&B sound. The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA. The album was created with an amazing producer/artist chemistry, and top-level players like George Duke, David Foster, Dean Parks, and Steve Gadd can be heard on this record.
