Primarily consisting of lead vocalists Ann Curless, Jeanette Jurado, and Gioia Bruno, the group achieved much of their success in the late 1980s and early 1990s, becoming the first group to have four top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart from their debut album, including their 1988 #1 hit "Seasons Change". The group was popular in dance clubs, mainstream Top 40 and adult contemporary charts in the United States. The group actively toured and recorded music from 1985 to 1995, then retired from recording and public performances until 2003, and currently tour today. desertcart.com Even greater than their Greatest Hits, Exposé's first album finds these club-and-chart divas in their most pure form, before personnel changes and the evolving musical climate sent them scrambling from their roots. Exposé were the queens of the Miami sound, and at many points in the 1980s and '90s, queens of the pop charts. But sales never translated to celebrity, and as the members were shuffled and the music grew increasingly anonymous, those who weren't watching closely didn't notice them. Exposure captures Exposé at their peak before the doldrums set it, and it's sure to get a party started, especially if your guests are older folks who remember this group from their first time around. --John Sanchez Review: Fantastic classic Expose album gets the beautiful remastered deluxe treatment - Excellent classic freestyle album with pop, dance, rock, and latin feel intertwined. Expose was a famous band in the mid to late 1980's consisting of three female singers put together by a popular DJ from Miami named, Lewis Martinee. Expose quickly rose to the top of the charts with this "Exposure" album churning out one hit after another from "Come Go With Me", "Exposed to Love", "Point of No Return", "Let Me Be the One", and "Seasons Change". In fact, they were the first female group to have four top ten hits from a debut album, one of those songs hit #1. Every track on this album is fantastic, including the remixes on the second disc. This classic album gets an exceptional remaster that is definitely noticeable over the original release. This also comes with extensive liner notes of the history of the band back then and interviews with the singers Jeanette Jurado, Gioia Bruno, and Ann Curless - all scouted and hired in that order. While I did say that the group was "put together", Gioia states in the album notes that she never liked hearing that, because they were much more than that, and she is right. While, yes, they were technically put together so to speak, these women were not without great talent. They were already in groups that were less popular and playing in small clubs before they came together, so they had some experience when they were cast to be in Expose so to speak. They each brought their own unique strengths, voices, and personas to form this classic freestyle band Expose. Their follow up CD to this is also worth getting, "What You Don't Know", which kept them at the top of the map. Where did Expose go after that excellent follow up second album? That's been the big question by so many over the years who loved them in the 1980's. Sadly, after that second album while riding the consistent wave of popularity and success for years, they seemed to disappear from the limelight so to speak. There are probably numerous theories as to why that happened. One of the singers, Gioia Bruno was diagnosed with throat cancer and went to take care of it while the group laid low for awhile. Luckily, she did recover, but it was many years later, which in the music industry in popular entertainment can be a death curse unless you're a Michael Jackson or Madonna. The band sought to cast another member to temporarily replace Gioia for awhile. This third replacement Kelly Moneymaker joined them on the third album, which was met with little success, as the songs were not as great and memorable as the first two albums. Losing the power house voice of Gioia didn't help, and the music produced for it wasn't as great as the previous two albums. Not to mention this was moving well into the 1990's, when the music sounds of the industry changed as well. Some popular 80's acts weren't able to successfully crossover into that new sound that was taking over including Expose. Their third album lost Gioia and lacked the magic freestyle essence they were able to capture on their first two albums. That seemed to be the end of Expose aside from the occasional festival or club performance over the years. Still - it all goes back to this phenomenal album that indicated something magical in the freestyle movement back in the 1980's that Expose ruled at above all others. In fact, because of their instant crazy popularity for so many years in the late 80's, this pushed record companies to quickly try and package and market other groups made up of three female leading singers, which they did with The Cover Girls and Sweet Sensation, who also soon evaporated by the time the 1990's rolled around. Expose's Exposure is a phenomenal album that still holds up today. This is a definite classic and one to get if you haven't already. It takes you back to that time and how fun the music was. Review: Booklet Comes With *LYRICS* And Additional Info! Great *DEBUT* Album! *Expanded* On 2 CDs! - It's about time that Exposé's debut album be given the deluxe treatment. I loved EXPOSURE and so I was overjoyed when I found out that Cherry Pop in the UK was releasing this 2-CD expanded version of it. I'm amazed that it's usually Japan or the UK that does these lovingly expanded re-issues of older soul/disco/r&b music from the USA (look at Universal Japan's reissue of the original Donna Summer "Live & More" album or Big Break Records UK expanded edition of The Pointer Sisters "Break Out" album for example), while the US record companies just keep putting out the same stuff just repackaged (I'm still waiting for a Janet "Miss" Jackson's CONTROL album to get an expanded makeover). I only know the original album (I actually had it on cassette) and the old CD, so I don't know if many of these remixes have been released before, as another customer stated, and I think I have two remixes that are on a "Free-Style" compilation, but I'm not sure if they're the same as on this edition, so mostly all of these extra tracks are new to me. On track #6 "Point Of No Return" from the original album, the track listed here on CD 1 is the extended version and runs 6:08-minutes. I no longer have that old cassette tape, but on the previous CD version of EXPOSURE this track is only 3:29-minutes, so that's one difference that I found, but that might be because the CD version had an edited version of the song -- I can't remember if the track was longer on the original. The remastering sounds fantastic and I think Cherry Pop did a great job. EXPOSURE DELUXE EDITION comes with a booklet featuring the lyrics to all songs, track annotations by the song-writer Lewis Martineé who talks about the inspiration for each song and how it came about, liner notes by Bill Pitzonka written on Aug 2014 that includes interviews with Jeanette Jurado, Gioia Bruno, and Ann Curless discussing how the group was formed etc., discography, some publicity pictures from back then, and single/album sleeve pictures. According to the liner notes there was a different group of singers who initially recorded "Point Of No Return" and "Exposed To Love" and featured lead vocals by Alé Lorenzo, who sounds exactly like Jeanette Jurado, and in the credits on lead vocals in the booklet it lists Lorenzo as the singer of both songs that feature the 1985 mixes. Jurado --once the group was formed with the lineup of Bruno, Jurado and Curless -- went back to the studio and recorded her own vocals on the two songs and Lewis Martineé says that if you owned any of the first 125,000 pressing of the EXPOSURE album you have Lorenzo's vocals, and any after are Jurado. I didn't know that so the liner notes were very informative. However it should've been mentioned that Gioia Bruno was diagnosed with throat cancer (I think that's what it was), which caused her to drop out of the group and be replaced by Kelley Moneymaker, while she recovered, and eventually she rejoined the group. I learned all this when I saw them perform at an LGBT Pride Festival back in either late 90s or early 2000s and Bruno was back in the group, and all were in fine voice. Another interesting tidbit is the group's performance at the famed Apollo Theater in New York, which you can find on Youtube, when they were touring. They brought the house down and I remember watching this on TV. Anyhow, if you were a kid in the 80s and went out clubbing you'd know this album and so I definitely recommend picking it up. If you like "High Energy/Free Style" music from the 80s then EXPOSURE is what you need. Normally, I don't really care for remix versions of songs, but in this case all of the additional tracks are based on the strong hits from the album and the remixes are extended mixes that doesn't change the song around too much. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000002VEL | | Best Sellers Rank | #141,521 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #729 in House (CDs & Vinyl) #1,093 in Contemporary Blues (CDs & Vinyl) #1,352 in Contemporary R&B (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (294) | | Date First Available | October 21, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Sony Legacy | | Manufacturer | Sony Legacy | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 1987 | | Product Dimensions | 5.62 x 4.92 x 0.33 inches; 3.84 ounces | | Run time | 44 minutes | ## Images ![Exposure - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514WLYtQe+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic classic Expose album gets the beautiful remastered deluxe treatment *by H***E on March 18, 2018* Excellent classic freestyle album with pop, dance, rock, and latin feel intertwined.

Although I only remember Point of No Return, I remember enjoying watching the video on either MTV or VH1 that summer. Plus, I remember this was 4 months I got KANSAS POINT OF KNOW RETURN on cassette for my 15th birthday. I enjoy listening to the song on this album. Meanwhile, Expose needs to have a DVD of all their music videos, concerts, interviews, and appearances on various shows. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/5284464-exposure](https://www.desertcart.at/products/5284464-exposure) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
