Videos of Summer: Vacation (1982)

The Go-Go's followed up 1981's "Beauty & The Beat" with "Vacation", released a year later. The title song was also the first single from the album.



"Vacation", the song, peaked at #8 on the Hot 100.

Still love the Go-Gos and their music!

I caught them back in the 90s when they were touring for the fist time on several years. They had added two members of The Bangles to fill in for Gina Shock and Kathy Valentine but they still sounded great! They had also released a CD box set which had some of their best work along with [at the time] new recordings. They still had that "Go-Go" sound.

The Vacation Album also had a great cover of "Cool Jerk" (originally by The Capitols). The whole album was a nice blend of early 80s New Wave and 60s beach/surf music.
