Swing Out Sister – The Artist/s

Swing Out Sister are a British pop band, best known worldwide for the 1986 song “Breakout”. Other hits include “Surrender”, “You On My Mind”, “Twilight World”, “Waiting Game”, and a remake of the Eugene Record soul composition “Am I the Same Girl”. Although Swing Out Sister is currently a duo, the group began as a trio in the UK. The band was formed by Andy Connell (keyboards) and Martin Jackson (drums); they were later joined by Corinne Drewery (vocals). According to the band’s website, “They christened themselves after an obscure Billie Burke “B”-musical from the ’40s because it was the only name they could agree upon – they all agreed they hated it.”[3] Both Connell and Jackson had been playing in other bands prior to forming Swing Out Sister, while Drewery was a fashion designer and model before she became the band’s lead vocalist.

The Escaping Prisoner – The Shape

This record has been modelled into the silhouette of a convict escaping from prison. A prison, also known as a jail, gaol, penitentiary, detention centre,[ correction centre, correctional facility, or remand centre, is a facility where people are imprisoned under the authority of the state, usually as punishment for various crimes. They may also be used to house those awaiting trial (pre-trial detention). Prisons serve two primary functions within the criminal-justice system: holding people charged with crimes while they await trial, and confining those who have pleaded guilty or been convicted to serve out their sentences.
