Go-Go’s – We Got The Beat (UK 7″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1980

This is the original 1980 Stiff recording produced by Paul L. Wexler.

“We Got the Beat” is a song recorded by the American rock band the Go-Go’s. Written by the group’s lead guitarist and keyboardist Charlotte Caffey, and considered to be their signature song, the band recorded the song in 1980 and it was released in May as a single in the UK on Stiff Records. The song’s single release brought the Go-Go’s underground credibility in the UK. The song climbed to No. 35 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart due to the popularity of the song in clubs as an import. It is considered a new wave classic hit.

The Go-Go’s re-recorded the song for their debut album, Beauty and the Beat, released in July 1981. “We Got the Beat” was released as the album’s second single in January 1982 on I.R.S. records produced by Richard Gottehrer & Rob Freeman becoming the hit version most are familiar with.
