This is the first time the original album version of God Bless The Go-Go's will be available on LP and is pressed on 140gram, blue colored vinyl. The deluxe CD and digital versions feature new cover art and includes the bonus tracks I Think I Need Sleep and King of Confusion.
Featuring Charlotte Caffey (lead guitar, keyboards, vocals), Belinda Carlisle (lead vocals), Gina Schock (drums, percussion, vocals), Kathy Valentine (bass guitar, vocals) and Jane Wiedlin (guitar, vocals), God Bless The Go-Go's was the band's first studio album in 17 years following 1984's Talk Show and reached No. 57 on the Billboard 200 and No. 17 on the Top Internet Albums chart. The album was produced by Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade (Radiohead, Hole) and features Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong on the single Unforgiven, Rame Jaffee (The Wallflowers and Foo Fighters) on Here You Are, as well as Roger Manning (Jellyfish. Imperial Drag and The Moog Cookbook) on the track Daisy Chain. Upon its original release, it was hailed by Uncut magazine for its sheer, punchy exuberance while Billboard was impressed with its deliriously buoyant, unadulterated adult-made pop.
In addition, February 5 sees the release of their universally acclaimed, 2020 Critics Choice Award winning documentary THE GO-GO'S through digital download & rental services via Eagle Vision, followed by the 2-Disc set (DVD + Blu-ray) via Polygram/UMe on February 26. Pre order the DVD/Blu-ray here.

With their roots in the L.A. punk scene, the candid and archive-rich documentary assesses the group's place in music history this serious appraisal of their story is the first to set the record straight about their historical ascent to global stardom. A major highlight of the film focuses on their collaborative efforts in writing a new song, the female empowerment anthem Club Zero, which became the first Go-Go's single in nearly 20 years and hit the Top 10 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart.
