Vacation

Vacation

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Capitalizing on the swift success of the debut album, The Go-Go's toured extensively in Europe and the US, even playing Madison Square Garden, and needed a "vacation" when the time came to record the follow-up album in late 1981. Produced again by Richard Gottehrer, Vacation featured another eleven originals, including hit single title track and "Get Up And Go", as well as a cover of The Capitols' old favorite "Cool Jerk". The bonus tracks on this deluxe digipak reissue include a non-album b-side, a demo and live performances from late '81 and June '82. For the comprehensive note, Paul Myers has newly interviewed Belinda, Charlotte and Jane for the full story of the writing and recording of the album. The booklet also includes lyrics and photos.
