"Half-Breed", released in 1973, is American singer Cher's tenth studio album, and her second highly successful record of the seventies.

The single and title track, "Half-Breed", reached number one in the Billboard Top 100 singles charts and was a success in Europe. "Half-Breed" was certified gold by RIAA in April 1974.

1992 Issue

A budget CD was released titled "Half Breed" (note the lack of hyphen) by various labels at various times during the 1990s. One online retailer even lists the release date as 2001. This album used a different cover, and contains two tracks from the original album and selected tracks from "Foxy Lady", "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves", and "Dark Lady". This version appears to be more easily obtained than either of the other two.

Reissue

"In 1999," the original album and Cher's next album (Dark Lady) were reissued onto one CD called Half Breed/Dark Lady which featured all the tracks from both. This CD is now hard to find.
