Break It All

Break It All is the only US-released studio album by Uruguayan rock band Los Shakers.

[1] Los Shakers were a Uruguay-based band who (after seeing the film A Hard Day's Night) decided to model themselves after The Beatles, right down to their musical style, dress and haircuts.

As the label specialized in stereo recordings, Audio Fidelity asked the band (whose name was Anglicized as "The Shakers") to re-record many of their numbers.

In the liner notes of their 2000 compilation album, ¡Por Favor!, Osvaldo Fattoruso stated that his brother Hugo (the band's normal lead singer) was a bit hoarse, so Osvaldo sang lead on a number of the tracks instead.

Break It All features new versions of songs from their self-titled debut album (which was only released in South America), plus a Spanish version of the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride" (which Audio Fidelity released as a single, with "Break It All" on the flip).
