Half-Breed was Cher's second highly successful album of the seventies. The single and title track, "Half-Breed", got to number one in the Billboard Top 100 singles charts and was a success in Europe. This was Cher's second album of 1973, the first being Bittersweet White Light which was underestimated. Half-Breed was certified gold by RIAA in April 1974.
A budget CD was released titled Half Breed (note the lack of hyphen) by various labels at various times during the 1990s. One online retailer even lists the release date as 2001. This album used a different cover, and contains two tracks from the original album and selected tracks from Foxy Lady, Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves, and Dark Lady. This version appears to be more easily obtained than either of the other two.
In 1999, the original album and Cher's next album (Dark Lady) were reissued onto one CD which featured all the tracks from both. This CD is now hard to find. |
