Released in June 1984, ‘Breaking Hearts’ consolidated the success of the previous year’s Too Low for Zero, which had elevated Elton to the upper echelons of the world’s charts. Replicating the formula of the previous album, it was recorded at AIR Montserrat, with his core players Davey Johnstone, Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson.
Faithfully repackaged to the original, ‘Breaking Hearts’ is now available on 1LP as a 2022 remastered edition.
