The Go - Instant Reaction

Japanese import from Wizzard In Vinyl again and fans of late 70`s independent skinny tie power pop will rejoice in yet another obscure find. The Go released one very strong 4 song 7" EP, which I was lucky enough to find back then and promptly disappeared. The Go were one of those tape/CD Tree type bands that power pop folks shared with each other over the years and shared and who no one had information on. Well, "Instant Reaction" has 24 songs from the band unearthed! They might have disappeared but they worked hard until they did retire the band. The material here is from 1979-1982 and the styles of power pop covered here will be familiar to collectors and fans. "Black Vinyl Shoes"-era Shoes, Raspberries, The Action, 20/20, The Nerves(early Plimsouls and The Beat), Bomp Records pop from the time and The Pop. Those names not familiar to you? Well, listen up to the soundbites and discover a bit of history. If you know who these folks are, well, consider yourself well-informed, enlightened and sure as to what`s going on here!

Even though The Go never got that big `ole record deal, all the tracks here were competently recorded, just like early material from Shoes, on their TEAC deck and a very well recorded for demos and most of the material could have easily been released on singles, EP`s and an album to no problem for fidelity freaks, at the time. Way to go, boys! Extremely Highly Recommended!
