Breakout (N.A.D. mix) (1986 12″ version)

~ Recording by Swing Out Sister

Annotation

this 7min mix was originally from their 1986 single, Breakout (track A).

incidentally, N.A.D. stands for "Need A Drink" apparently, as the short 'inebriated rapping' near the start of the otherwise 1:43 long instrumental intro would also suggest, before Corinne comes in midway singing "Breakout…"
