40 Years Ago 1982 The Go-Go's released their second album Vacation.
The title track reached #8 (#17 Club #13 Mainstream Rock) and is one of their highest charting singles.
The single was also issued as perhaps the first cassette single ever or "cassingle" as trademarked by I.R.S. Records.
The video was shot in one very long day on a $50,000 budget, large for the time, and the band was coming off a debut album that had reached no. 1. "We still saw videos as an annoying waste of time," recalls Jane Wiedlin. "After seven or eight hours we sent out someone to sneak in booze." Kathy Valentine says they drank "lots of champagne. Lots." Wiedlin says the effects are evident during the closeups of the women at the end: "... if you look at our eyes, we're all so drunk. We didn't even try to make it look like we were really waterskiing."
Follow-ups were "Get Up and Go" (#50 #46 Rock) and no-charter "This Old Feeling."
The album also features "Cool Jerk" which they re-recorded for their Greatest Hits album in 1990, it made #60 in the UK.
