The Sabu that came to Heavy Metal Records in the mid 1980s was a four piece band, led by and named for Paul Sabu on Lead Vocals and Guitar, and completed by Rick Bozzo on Bass, Charles J. Esposito on Drums and Dan Ellis on Keyboards. They released the single "Angeline" through the sister label FM-Revolver before releasing "Heartbreak" through Heavy Metal America in 1985. This was the first album Paul produced and engineered himself, and would be the start of an illustrious production career that would see him work with such artists as David Bowie and Alice Cooper.

Heartbreak came in the middle of Sabu’s career, and it shows. The band’s sound has been honed and refined from previous efforts, becoming a hard rock behemoth. The tracks have a verve and a vigour that defined the era, with the arching vocals showing passion for his craft. Sabu, in one form or another, continue to this day, still producing good records. But none of them match this album for sheer quality.
