Breakthru were a powerful live act from Birmingham who never managed to "break through" into the record charts despite a talented and charismatic line-up. Forty years later, Circle Records has released a compilation of their recorded material that we can now hear and appreciate for the first time.
Breakthru never managed to have an album released of their own which was unfortunate as their only record was a solitary single 'Ice Cream Tree' that has since appeared on various 1960s compilations. The group were never happy with the single as it was not a good representation of their "sound", and particularly as the song was not composed by the band themselves.
All the group members were actively involved in song writing with some of this backlog occasionally committed to tape whenever time and money would permit. Now, decades later, the previously un-released recordings they made have been assembled into the one and only Breakthru album titled "Adventures Highway". This collection the band members say, represents how they would like the group to be best remembered.
