Go West ‘s debut album is celebrated here with an expanded 35th Anniversary edition. Originally formed in 1982, Peter Cox and Richard Drummie signed to Chrysalis Records in 1984 on the back of hearing demo versions of their breakthrough hits, We Close Our Eyes and Call Me.

Their debut single, We Close Our Eyes, reached no.5 in the UK charts and No.5 in the US Billboard Dance charts and was accompanied by a groundbreaking video directed by Kevin Godley & Lol Crème. Further hit singles quickly followed (Call Me, Goodbye Girl and Don’t Look Down) along with a follow-up compilation of remixes and live tracks called Bangs & Crashes.

This set has been newly remastered by the original producer, Gary Stevenson, from the original production tapes and includes a collection of previously unreleased demos and remixes. The DVD contains all the promo videos for the singles, Top of The Pops performances and a previously unseen concert from Japan 1985.

The set is packaged in a 12”x12” Rigid Sipcase and contains two 20-page, 12” square booklets featuring notes from the band, unseen photos, 5 discs in card wallets housed in two 12” gatefold album sleeves.

The band will be on tour throughout 2022 to celebrate their 35th Anniversary along with a series of concerts performing the album in full.
