80s-Wizard:

"Breakaway" was Big Pig's third single released from their album "Bonk" back in 1988. This single did well on the Aria Official Australian Singles Chart climbing to #16 nationally. In 1989 "Breakaway" featured on the soundtrack of the hit movie "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" and can be heard in the opening credits. It's probably one of their most memorable singles, lots of percussion and no bass, it was truly unlike anything else at the time. I was glad to have found this 7" single recently, it sounds fantastic with minimal cracks and pops.
