SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES GOING TO A GO-GO 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION IMPORT SPEAKER CORNER AUDIOPHILE MASTERPIECE PRESSING
NOW OUT OF PRINT AND OUR LAST COPY FOREVER
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 273/500!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time - "Ooo Baby Baby" - Rated 266/500!
Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the November 2009 Issue of Stereophile!
Though its title track ignited a nationwide fad for go-go music, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' Going to a Go-Go LP certainly wasn't just a cash-in effort. It's one of the best records the group put out, and the first six songs make for the best side of any original Motown LP of the '60s (granted, all but one are also available on dozens of Miracles compilations). The four biggest hits were among the best in a set of Miracles archetypes: the throwback to the aching '50s doo wop ballad ("Ooo Baby, Baby"), the flashy up-tempo dance song ("Going to a Go-Go"), the dancing-with-tears-in-my-eyes jerker ("The Tracks of My Tears"), and the mid-tempo orchestral epic ("My Girl Has Gone"). "Choosey Beggar" is one of the sweetest of all Robinson's lead vocals, with stunning background work by the rest of the Miracles. Even the album tracks shine, with "All That's Good" and "Let Me Have Some" working as excellent additions to the program. -- John Bush, Allmusic
"Motown at its most debonair and sexy. Smokey Robinson works his sweeping soul falsetto over unbelievably sad ballads including "The Tracks of My Tears" and "Ooh Baby Baby" as the Miracles sob along. Even obscurities such as "Choosey Beggar" are top-notch." .rollingstone
"Robinson called this ballad his 'national anthem,' noting, 'Wherever we go, it’s the one song that everybody asks for.' 'Baby' has what may be his most delicate and wounded vocal. When Robinson sighs the line 'I’m crying,' it’s a reminder that no matter how many vocalists keep covering his songs, nobody sings Smokey like Smokey." - Rolling Stone
