All That Jazz is the debut studio album by English pop band Breathe. Originally scheduled for release in October 1987,the album was issued first in the United States on 24 August 1987,ahead of the United Kingdom and other markets.[3][4] The album peaked at No. 22 on the UK Albums Chart and at No. 34 on the US Billboard 200. It has been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA,[5] Gold in Canada[6] and Silver in the UK by the BPI.[7]
A number of the album's tracks were recorded in 1985 with producer Bob Sargeant. The group's first British single,"Don't Tell Me Lies",was released in January 1986 and reached No. 77 on the UK singles chart. In 1987,Chris Porter was brought on board to produce,and the band continued working on the rest of the tracks to be included on All That Jazz.[3] "Don't Tell Me Lies" was not featured on the initial UK release of the album (though an edited dance version was included on the US version and later album pressings worldwide). In May 1987,"Jonah" became the band's first US single,and third in the UK,but failed to chart in either territory.
The biggest hit single from the album was "Hands to Heaven",which reached No. 4 in the UK singles chart and No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[8][9] Other singles from the album include three UK-only tracks—"All That Jazz","Any Trick",and a remix of "Jonah"—along with "How Can I Fall?",a remix of "Don't Tell Me Lies,and "All This I Should Have Known" (US only).[10]
In the US,All That Jazz spent 51 weeks in the Billboard 200,from June 4,1988,with a peak at No. 34 on 24 December 1988.[12] In the UK,the album debuted at its peak position of No. 22 on 8 October 1988,dropping from the chart 5 weeks later.[13] Spending 5 weeks also on the Swedish albums chart from 11 January 1989,All That Jazz reached No. 12 on 8 February 1989.[14] In Canada,the album spent twenty-six weeks on the RPM 100 albums chart,achieving its highest position of No. 43 on 26 November 1988.[15] In Germany,it peaked at No. 50 for two weeks from 20 February 1989.[16]
The album was certified Gold in the United States on 21 November 1988,[5] Silver in the United Kingdom on 14 April 1989,[7] and Gold in Canada on 21 April 1989.[6]
Track listings
All tracks written by David Glasper and Marcus Lillington,except where noted.
In the United States, A&M Records substituted track 9 "For Love or Money" with a special edit of the extended dance mix of "Don't Tell Me Lies", remixed by John Morales.
When Siren Records re-released All That Jazz on 26 September 1988, the US edit of "Don't Tell Me Lies" was added to the album as track 6. A new cover design replaced the original, which had included since-departed fourth band member Michael Delahunty. The UK and European cassette version of the re-released album added "In All Honesty" as track B6. After initial American pressings sold out, A&M started using the new UK cover design, but maintained the original US track listing. Virgin Canada favoured the expanded UK track listing and packaged the album in a new cover that featured a seductively entwined couple caught mid-tango. For a brief period, this cover also appeared on some European and South American pressings.[3]
The 2-CD Deluxe Edition, released in 2013, builds upon the UK re-release. On disc 1, tracks 1 to 11 are retained in their original configuration, with an extra 8 tracks following. Disc 2 features an additional 14 tracks consisting of 5 non-album B-sides, and 9 remixes. Of the 33 tracks, 15 had not previously been available on CD (*).[17]
All That Jazz generated nine singles, including two re-releases. Four of these issues were made in both the US and the UK, with another exclusive to the US and four not released in the US.
