The Go-Go’s – Beauty And The Beat (LP, Album, Pitman Pressing, 1981, I.R.S. Records SP 70021)

Why This Record Matters
Beauty And The Beat was the Go-Go’s 1981 debut, blending the band’s Los Angeles punk roots with concise pop-rock songwriting. It spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and was the first No. 1 album by an all-female band that wrote and performed its own music. The album includes the hit singles “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got The Beat.”

This 1981 US I.R.S. Records pressing was pressed at Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman, as indicated by the CP marking in the supplied Side A runout. Both runouts carry the STERLING marking, identifying the Sterling Sound mastering. The original inner sleeve is included.
