You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw
1973 studio album by Spooky Tooth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You Broke My Heart So ... I Busted Your Jaw is the sixth studio album by Spooky Tooth, first released in 1973 on Island Records. It was the first album to be released after the band re-formed, following their 1970 breakup. Founding guitarist Luther Grosvenor did not rejoin the band, as he had joined Mott the Hoople as a guitarist, adopting the stage name of Ariel Bender. Grosvenor was replaced by Mick Jones, who later co-founded Foreigner, while founding drummer Mike Kellie was replaced by Bryson Graham. The album was remastered and re-released on compact disc (CD) by Repertoire in January 2005, with a bonus track. The album would peak at number 178 on the Billboard Album Chart in The States.
