[AUDIO OFFLINE]
ARTIST: Jane Wiedlin
TITLE: Blue Kiss [Extended] X
LABEL: I.R.S, 1985
Years ago I got a chance to meet the Go-Go's after a show at the Pageant Theater in St. Louis. While everyone else gravitated toward Belinda for photo ops, I made a beeline for Jane. She was always my favorite Go-Go, and I could never understand why her sweet-as-syrup solo music was so widely ignored by radio. --Steve-O

[AUDIO OFFLINE]
ARTIST: Belinda Carlisle
TITLE: Mad About You [Extended] X
LABEL: I.R.S, 1985
Mad About You is the best-known song off this former Go-Go's debut solo album. To my amazement, it was omitted from her Place On Earth: Greatest Hits collection on EMI, despite their having purchased the I.R.S. label half a decade prior to its release. Huh? Never fear, Virgin later managed to re-issue the Belinda album with a ton of extras including this slightly different remix. If you own both CDs, plus her Playboy Magazine issue ... you can die happy. --Steve-O
