The Go-Go's Artist Snapshot:

With their sunny melodies and perky image, the Go-Gos harkened back to the girl groups of the 1960s. Led by singer Belinda Carlisle and guitarist/songwriter Jane Wiedlin, the Go-Gos embodied the happy, peppy side of New Wave. Their debut, 1981's Beauty and the Beat, was a huge hit on the strength of two irresistible singles, the sprightly, chant-like "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed," a relatively sophisticated slice of joyous pop. As with many groups of the era, MTV played an important role in selling the group to the masses.

Review

Rolling Stone (12/29/94-1/12/95, p.173) - "...An embarassment of riches....It makes you want to pogo all over again."
Spin (1/95, pp.72-73) - Highly Recommended - "...RETURN TO THE VALLEY OF THE GO-GO's sound[s] cattier than ever, thanks largely to their amazing drummer...Schock fleshes out the music's Buzzcocks/Ramones fixation with her own libidinally propulsive beat..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/21/94, p.66) - "...The old stuff is the real joy here..." - Rating: A-
Alternative Press (3/95, p.81) - "...captures the Go-Go's in all of their guises--the rough'n'ready punk molls of their late-'70s genesis, the faint new wave Thunders squawk of their pre-debut-album live shows, and onto the increasingly effervescent purity of their studio career....hard to believe the best of this set is almost fifteen years old..."

Includes liner notes by David Keeps and The Go-Go's.

Opening up a time capsule full of mall-hopping Valley Girls, the Go-Go's are back with RETURN TO THE VALLEY OF THE GO-GO'S, a collection of rarities, B-sides, and three new compositions. Certainly not the first all-female rock group in history, the Go-Go's were definitely the most popular.

Their surfy poppiness fit perfectly within the post-punk climate of the early '80s. Brimming with picturesque charm, they were marketed with the same comic book cuteness as the early Beatles. Back when the Go-Go's first gained popularity, the concept of an all-female band was still new to the media and to the Go-Go's fans.

RETURN TO THE VALLEY OF THE GO-GO'S is indispensible to any Go-Go's fan. In between songs from their three albums, RETURN TO THE VALLEY OF THE GO-GO'S treats the listener to rare rehearsal tapes from as early as 1979 and includes live recordings spanning their career. RETURN TO THE VALLEY OF THE GO-GO'S is a valuable time piece on post-punk pop, and anyone interested in the evolution of all-female bands.
