Although I love a huge amount of music, ABBA and The Pointer Sisters are my MOST favourite artists in my life. Anita, Ruth and June’s music went straight to my heart when I bought “Break Out” around the time of “Neutron Dance” and I then started hunting out their back catalogue (and discovered there was Bonnie too)… I bought every album and every 7″ and 12″ single from then on and all the solo albums and singles too… I just love them so much 🙂 Thanks for this excellent rip of this 12″… so much better than my own worn… Read more »
Great post and of course love the new buttons especially the 24 bit flac one!
Pointer sisters made me feel very happy in their times and now hearing them again it´s great, congratulations for posting this kind of music burningtheground, this is the first time that i go into your blog, and i was reading all the comments and the last ones called my attention, about this misunderstantings , don’t fight with words guys, and tania, i believe you hadn´t the way to request something and maybe one apologize it will be good both Tania and DJPAULT, thank you .
postscript: don’t ban tania DJPAULT, peace and love inc. like the song from information society.
No worries Jonh. Thank you for your comment 🙂
THANKSSSSSSSSS so much for this. I’ve waited years for a great sounding copy of this fantastic single. I forgot to request “Be There” another of their lost great underrated singles.
U R THE BEST!!!
You’re welcome Jon 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you! One of my all-time favorite “secret” hits. It’s too bad they never released “Hot Together” as a single. I remember the NBA created a great ad for the playoffs and RCA should’ve taken advantage of it.
DenverDean you’re very welcome that was a great ad.

The Pointers have always been a staple of mine in the 80s, especially the first half of it. Automatic is my ultimate favourite!
I must admit that I had gone off them a bit after their Contact era, and their chart slide didn’t help either.
So while I was aware of this single, I didn’t pay much attention to it then.
With a different perspective and a different era now, it is a good time to savour this to see what I missed the first time round.
Thanks Paul!
and Happy Weekend!
Ric I think you will enjoy this record I had forgotten about it until it was requested I am glad i revisited it. Cheers to you and Happy weekend!
I have always loved this song! Thanks for the 12″!!!
You’re welcome Stacey =)
hi Paul just i have to say great! man, Pointer Sisters is one of my best, and one favor please could you up ElDerbage The Heart is not so smart maxi 12″ i´ll appreciate it, thanks again bye, reply please…
Too bad they didn’t give this song to Vanity!!! Just kidding. 😉 This is one of the Pointers most under-rated tracks, IMHO.
Martymartymarty I agree very under-rated.
Thanks paul.
The perfect track for a friday evening….

Thank you!
You’re welcome Johan.
