"Vacation" is the American new wave band The Go-Go's second album, released on July 20th, 1982 via I.R.S. Records. It was produced by Richard Gottehrer, who produced The Go-Go's first record and has worked with Blondie and The Angels among others. The album reached number 8 on the US Billboard Hot 200 chart and has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Despite the album's success, the recording period was hampered by several issues. Most of the band's lineup was struggling with drug addiction and were starting to argue more over creative differences. There was also growing discord between songwriter and lead guitarist Charlotte Caffey, lead singer Belinda Carlisle, and guitarist Jane Wiedlin, who had begun to take more of an interest in songwriting. These problems were never resolved and would result in the band's dissolution following the disappointing sales of their third album, Talk Show. The single "Vacation" was also issued in what may possibly have been the first cassette single. In addition to the title track, two more singles were pulled from the album at the time: "Get Up and Go" and "This Old Feeling", the former of which peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song "Speeding", which is not included on the album, is a Caffey/Wiedlin composition used as B-side of the single for "Get Up and Go". In 2016, Edsel Records reissued remastered deluxe editions, all with bonus tracks, of the Go-Go's original three releases. Person
