May 19 street date. The 1978 classic album, newly cut from masters by Jason Mitchell at LOUD mastering and approved by Andy Partridge.

Recorded in August/September 1978 at Abbey Road with John Leckie returning as producer (Brian Eno reputedly having declined to produce as he felt the band was good enough to self-produce), "Go 2" built and expanded upon the band's impossible to label "White Music" debut from the start of the year with smatterings of post-punk, sci-fi pop from another dimension, sharp lyrics and, frequently, even sharper tunes, now joined by a fascination with dub music that merited an additional 5 track 12" EP to accompany the initial release. In addition to the growing strengths of twin songwriters Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding, the album also featured the emergence of Barry Andrews as a third songwriter - though this became a catalyst, in part, for Andrews' departure soon after the album's release.

The album is being reissued as a limited edition 2-disc set, in a gatefold sleeve maintaining all of the original artwork, featuring the album and the "Go+ EP", both pressed on 200 gram vinyl. As with the initial 1978 release, once this pressing has sold out, the album will revert to a single LP/single sleeve edition.
