Vacation (The Go-Go's album)

Common card · No. 324958

Vacation is the second studio album by American rock band the Go-Go's, released on July 20, 1982, by I.R.S. Records. The album reached number eight on the Billboard 200, and has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). 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 they 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 continued to escalate and would eventually result in the band's dissolution following the disappointing sales of their third album, Talk Show.
