Go-Go's - Do It Over (Radio Mix)

Do It Over is the opening of the short-lived 2002 TV series "Do Over". Since the full song remains unreleased to this day, I made a mix with the opening + instrumental we have to make it sound like a full song. Sorry about the crappy sound quality, this is the best I could do with the original files.

Girls, why don't you release the full song on ITunes one of these days ?

Focus on... LP4

 

Okay, so let’s talk about LP4, the album the Go-Go’s began to work on before splitting up in 1985. We don’t know many things about it : it doesn’t even seem to be titled. I’d like to gather everything I know about it here. Paula had just joined the band in december 1984 and began to work on the song Mad About You. It seems that Paula, Charlotte and Belinda also started to write Gotta Get To You at the same time. Some other songs were registered by the girls in 1985, probably for LP4 too : Break It Up (words by Belinda, music by Charlotte) ; Love In Return (Caffey/Shock), a probably altered version of this song ended up on the 1989 House Of Shock album ; (Let’s Go Down To) Rhythm Street and Don’t It Mean A Thing, two Caffey/Valentine songs. It is unknown if Shot In The Dark, the last song by Paula from the Belinda LP, was originally written for the Go-Go's LP4 or not. After the Rock In Rio festival, the band chose Mike Chapman to produce the album. The man is especially known for his work on several Blondie albums. Char went on rehab shortly thereafter, and as soon as she got out, studio rehearsals began at SIR, in Hollywood. They were pulling together the songs, so I guess there must have been some studio recordings. During one of these sessions a big fight occurred between Belinda and Gina, which Kathy thinks to be a starting point of Belinda and Char plotting the breakup. The rest is well known, the Go-Go’s were disbanded  the 9^th of May 1985 and LP4 never saw the light of day.

I have to say I’m really sorry that LP4 didn’t came out, because I’m sure that the band would have been great with Paula. Of course it wouldn’t have been the same as with Jane, but this change could have brought some fresh air to the band, even just for one album.

It seems that Gina and Paula went on working together after the breakup, since they registered a song named That Face in 1986.

Other songs mentioned here and there : No Secrets (recorded for a movie, seems the girls all hated it) and Zero To Hero.

Here's the released version of No Secrets, recorded by Van Stephenson :

If you know something I don’t, please comment and share ! ;)

And girls, please release the LP4 stuff you got one of these days. Think about Itunes.

New Go-Go's songs coming soon ?

Okay, here's what Jane recently said :

"We've talked about it for years. It's one of those ongoing conversations. I was thinking about how few records we actually have made in our 33 years and how we could be doing a lot better. Because the Go-Go's isn't a full-time band anymore and the fact we've scattered over the whole world, it makes it really hard to commit to things like making records. But having said that, now that the interwebs are so big and people release one song at a time… the structure of making music has become less rigid. So I'd like to think that, yes, we will have new music coming. Over the course of a year everyone just started re-thinking that idea [the Farewell tour] and ultimately we decided we shouldn't say it's a farewell tour this year. I was not happy about it, anyway; I want to be a 90-year-old Go-Go someday. I love being a Go-Go. It definitely has its ups and downs, and we have a very intense energy with each other. Sometimes it's amazing fun, and it's always magical when we play live together. And sometimes we are just such a pain in the ass to each other, like, we all get on each other's nerves because we've all known each other for so long. Basically it's a five-way marriage that's gone on for 33 years — and will keep going if I have anything to say about it."

Isn't this awesome ? Girls, I'm waiting for some new songs !
