LINX started out life as a 5-piece Soul and Brit-Funk band. Signed to Chrysalis records, the band released their first single in 1980. YOU RE LYING reached #15 on the UK Pop Chart. Shortly before the release of their debut album, the band slimmed down their line-up to the bass guitar/singer duo of Sketch (Peter Martin) and David Grant.
Hot on its heels, and in keeping with the original release schedule, here is the follow-up, featuring top 20 hit SO THIS IS ROMANCE, in addition to further chart single CAN’T HELP MYSELF. Released in October 1981, GO AHEAD returned the duo to the top 40 of the album charts. This expanded edition features the group’s later singles PLAYTHING and DON’T HIT ME WITH YOUR LOVE as well as 12” mixes and non-album b-sides.
BBR is very proud to present the first ever CD release of GO AHEAD in full expanded form, complete with extensive liner notes featuring an interview with David Grant along with added bonus tracks.
