Vacation is the second
studio album by the American rock band
The Go-Go's, released in 1982 on the
I.R.S. Records label. The album reached No. 8 in the
U.S. Billboard 200, and was certified
gold. The
title track was a U.S. summer smash, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard pop singles chart. The Go-Go's were riding high at the time of the album's first release, their future to all outward appearances looking bright. Future problems were beginning to take shape, as the members' drug use and internal fighting began to escalate.
