Broken Heart (album)

Broken Heart is The Babys second album. The album produced The Babys first big hit "Isn't it Time", which reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977. Broken Heart is currently out of print, but it can be found released as a double album with the self titled album The Babys.

Producer Ron Nevison seemed to help create a clearer sound and the album ranges from frantic guitar and drum solos to quiet ballads like Silver Dreams. Waite's vocals received greater attention than in the previous album where they sounded impressive but distant.

Songwriters outside the group were included with songs by Jack Conrad and Ray Kennedy, Mike Japp and Chas Sandford.
