referencing Go 2 (LP, Album) V2108

This release bothers me because it says “We could have written the band's name in special lettering so that it stood out and you'd see it before you'd read any of this writing” but that’s what it did anyways.

Honestly i love this album, its got some duds but the bass and the way the tracks lead into the next on some tracks really smooth

Go 2 contains a lot of short odd punky jerky yet melodic new wave pop songs - a mostly a less energized version of the first LP with a sharp rawness to it. The last album w/ keyboardist Barry Andrews soon to be replaced by guitarist David Gregory. XTC's sound would change radically (for the better) after this.
Not essential, but a very fun listen.

Underrated XTC album in my opinion.

This pressing is quite punchy and bass heavy.

I just finished hearing the entire album and it is a great sounding record. The vinyl quality is excellent.
Deserving for one of my favourite Brit band.👍🏼

Amazing pressing, very clean, not a tick to be heard! Mastering is top-notch.

WOW I have an OG pressing and this is simply an amazing and vibrant pressing. Ape House continuing to bring the quality and class to the XTC vinyl reissues

Agree 100% about the sound quality, which is up there with Mobile Fidelity releases. The Go+ tracks are 45rpm, just in case that got overlooked because of all the typing on the labels!
