Description
A landmark debut that fused punk energy with bubblegum hooks, Beauty & The Beat made history as the first album by an all-female band who wrote and performed their own material to top the Billboard 200. This UMC heavyweight vinyl reissue brings back the infectious charm of the original, with crisp remastering and a sturdy sleeve featuring the iconic towel-clad cover.

From the rebellious shimmer of We Got the Beat to the bittersweet Lust to Love, the album captures the Go-Go’s at their most exuberant and emotionally raw. Essential listening for fans of early MTV-era pop and post-punk crossover.
