Broken Heart is The Babys second album, released in September 1977. The album produced The Babys first big hit "Isn't It Time", which reached No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 9 on the Australian chart.[2] in 1977. Broken Heart was later 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.
Sales of 400,0000 copies were reported for the album Broken Heart.[3]
Songwriters outside the group were included with songs by Jack Conrad and Ray Kennedy, Mike Japp and Chas Sandford.
