Description

Up for auction is an original US test pressing for the classic self titled Funk/Soul LP by Breakwater released in 1978 on Arista Records AB 4208. Visually graded using Goldmine standards, the vinyl rates a near mint and looks unplayed with beautiful shine. Comes in a generic white jacket. Not many test pressings are made for each LP and usually have superior sound. Don't miss this one!!!! Low starting bid and no reserve! Will be shipped in sturdy record mailer. Please see my other auctions for more rare records.

Breakwater is a funk and soul American band from Philadelphia, formed in 1971. The original members of Breakwater consisted of Gene Robinson, James Gee Jones, Linc 'Love' Gilmore, Steve Green, Vince Garnell, Greg Scott, John 'Dutch' Braddock, and Kae Williams, Jr.

The band released two albums: Breakwater in 1978, and Splashdown in 1980. The latter features the song "Release the Beast", which was sampled for the Murs track "Intro" in the album Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition. "Release the Beast" was later sampled by Daft Punk for the song "Robot Rock", which appeared on the album Human After All.
