Break Out - separately labeled 1984 revised program
The 1984 revision adds the explicitly labeled 1984 mix of Im So Excited and presents Jump under its expanded title. This is edition evidence only, not the first release of recordings already on the 1982 and 1983 original albums. | Reviewed 2026-10-18

About The Pointer Sisters
The Pointer Sisters developed their vocal training in their father's West Oakland church. Their 1973 debut began a recording career that moved across styles, including the country song Fairytale, written by Anita and Bonnie Pointer. After the quartet became a trio of Anita, June and Ruth, Fire introduced a rock-oriented direction. Break Out later featured Automatic and Jump, bringing the group's harmonies into a dance-pop setting alongside continued stage and television work.
