Six consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart, and two songs—“Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat”—that became part of the soundtrack of the decade. Along the way, the \u003cstrong\u003eGo-Go’s\u003c\/strong\u003e made history as the first all-female band to reach No. 1 with an album on which they wrote their own songs and played their own instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListening to the entire record reminds you why it connected with so many people. The songs keep coming, the playing has personality, and there’s an edge underneath those great pop melodies. The hooks pull you in, and the energy makes you want to play it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in New York and produced by Richard Gottehrer and Rob Freeman, \u003cem\u003eBeauty and the Beat\u003c\/em\u003e brought the band’s club-tested songs into focus. Gottehrer had already worked with Blondie, and you can hear that feel for letting a great pop song shine while keeping some grit in the playing. The guitars ring, the rhythm section drives the songs, and the harmonies give those melodies another lift. There’s a looseness and spirit to it all that’s a big part of why this record still feels so alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering mastered the album from the original analog master tapes, with One-Step processing and pressing handled by Record Technology, Inc.
