Reviews
- I listened to this album from my legacy collection on 04/11/2024 and it sounds just as great as it did in 1981 when I first took it home from Tower Records. Every performance on this disc is pushed to the limit. Classic 1980s west coast rock at its best.
- This particular pressing of this album is Very well mastered and pressed. When you drop the needle and Our Lips Are Sealed starts, it jumps out of the speakers Strong and crystal clear. Bass is punchy, guitars and vocals loud and clear. I can even hear the tambourine like it’s right next to me. Wide sound stage. The new remasters are dialed back in volume and overall power compared to the original. I never really paid super close to sound detail with the Go-Go’s before but listening to this now sounds like the girls are playing live in my living room! Very good pressing and I was lucky to find a Mint condition copy. Great memories with this one
