Day 12: The Partridge Family At Home With Their Greatest Hits

John MillerComment

In summer of '72 the latest Partridge Family single, a cover of Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do," was climbing the charts. It became the latest PF single to hit the Top 40, peaking at No. 28.

The song was recorded during the sessions that would produce songs for the upcoming third season of the show, and the next two albums planned for release that same season.

At this point, The Partridge Family had achieved 7 hit singles. There were also several fan favorites featured on the previous 5 albums that were considered for single release, but held back. It was now time for a Greatest Hits album.

The Partridge Family At Home With Their Greatest arrived just in time to coordinate with the launch of the '72-'73 season. It became the 6th Partridge Family album in a row to sell Gold, and it was reissued two more times over the next decade.

When it comes to hits, this album definitely packs a punch.
