The Go!! Records
Complete Collection presents a massive 130 tracks on four jam-packed CDs –
bringing together, for the first time, every track recorded for the legendary
and collectable Go!! Records 1965-1967. Go!! Records was one of the original,
truly independent Australian record companies, set up by the producers of the TV
pop programme The Go!! Show in order to sign and promote releases by local
artists who appeared on the show. There was a core group of acts that appeared
on a regular basis, with the show also featuring many other major local pop
stars of the day.
The Go!! label ran as a separate entity, from March
1965 to May 1967, issuing an impressive run of 54 singles, seven EPs and six
LPs. The records covered everything from frantic beat pop and chiming classic
pop to tough garage rock and jug band music. Many of the singles were hits which
helped establish a number of significant acts... and what hits they were! ‘I
Belong with You’, ‘Someone’ and ‘Judy Green’ by Bobby and Laurie, ‘Talkin’ ’Bout
You’ by The Rondells, ‘Rockin’ Robin’ by The Henchmen, ‘It’s You’ by Terry Dean,
‘Slow Down Sandy’ by Billy Adams, ‘I’ve Been Trying’, ‘The Angels Listened In’,
‘Oh, Monah’ and ‘Minnie the Moocher’ by The Cherokees, ‘Little Boy Sad’, ‘Lonely
Boy’ and ‘Remember (Walkin’ in the Sand)’ by M.P.D. Limited, ‘Midnight Bus’ by
Betty McQuade, ‘Little People’ by Yvonne Barrett... they’re all here and
more!!
If you want proof that Go!! Records was at the forefront of
currents trends of the day, it’s worth noting that the dynamic duo of Bobby and
Laurie captured the spirit of the Australian beat pop scene of the Sixties in
all its foot-stomping, hand-clapping, mane-shaking, fun-loving glory, matching
the likes of The Easybeats, Normie Rowe and Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs every
step of the way. The Go!! Records Complete Collection is also a pertinent
reminder that this is where Mike ‘Up There Cazaly’ Brady got his start, as a
member of M.P.D. Limited.
It’s also been the more obscure records and
bands on Go!! Records that have continued to keep interest in the label at a
premium. Try ‘Rachael’ by 18th Century Quartet, ‘Take Me for a Little While’ by
The Deakins, ‘Is this a Dream’ by The Chosen Few, ‘Without You’ by The Other
Ends, ‘Love Me Girl’ by The Clique, ‘I Only Want to Be with You’ by Young Once
and ‘Hey, Hey, Hey’ by The Bobby James Syndicate. As an added bonus there are
two previously unreleased demo tracks by Justin Anthony and the
Impacts.
In recent years the Go!! brand has re-emerged with a successful
series of Go!! Show Gold reunion concerts around the country. Now as if to bring
things full circle Aztec Records have compiled the entire Go!! Records output
for the massive The Go!! Records Complete Collection box set. Audio engineer
extraordinaire Gil Matthews has remastered the entire collection – a whopping
130 tracks! – so sonically the music has taken on new life. All of which means
that the fans can relive golden memories and enjoy the music with fresh purpose.
It’s not all nostalgia because new listeners will immediately understand that
music of this quality will never go out of style.
