    this is one of my very favourtie DC go-go records. I heard a segued version of THE WORD and SARDINES on KICK IT - DEF JAM SAMPLER 1 from 1987..... Been hooked ever since. I have the UK 12" version. Never upgraded to a US pressing.

      Ahhhhhhhh . . . Washington D.C. For those who don't know, Go-Go and Hardcore both come from that Global Capital . . . This record changed the world . . . you'll never know how much!
