On this day, January 26, 1983, Berlin’s Pleasure Victim album was re-released after its initial independent release in 1982. This re-release marked the band’s breakthrough, as the album gained significant attention and brought Berlin into the mainstream spotlight.

Featuring the hit singles The Metro and Sex (I’m A…), Pleasure Victim showcased Berlin’s unique blend of synth-pop and provocative lyrics. With its polished production and daring themes, the album quickly became a defining moment for the band and a classic of the new wave era.

Fun Fact: The Metro became one of Berlin’s signature songs and is widely regarded as one of the best synth-pop tracks of the 80s.

Trivia Question: What Berlin song, featured on a later album, won an Academy Award for Best Original Song?
