Record Store Day
Saturday 23rd April 2022
The Go! Team reissue their second album Proof ofYouth for Record Store Day 2022.
Long since out of print, this 15 year anniversary editioncomes with an exclusive sleeve and a flexi disc of nonalbum track Milk Crisis and is pressed on “bubblegum”vinyl. This edition of Proof of Youth is limited to 3,000copies worldwide.
Bombing melodies into the stone-age with its needlein the-red, anti-production approach, Proof of Youthlurches from bubblegum pop to white noise in aheartbeat. The album brings a gang of glorious misfitsto the party - including Public Enemy legend Chuck D,the original Double Dutch Divas, Maryland’s pint sizedRapper’s Delight Club, Marina from Bonde Do Role,Amsterdam based Solex and Washington DC’sFrederick Douglas All Star Cheer Team.
Songs on Proof of Youth include Grip Like A Vicewhich sees b-girls slaying the fellas with brass blasts,a clap machine, a pound shop keyboard and a ton offeedback. Doing it Right sounds like a marching bandfully cranked through a Marshall stack. Keys to theCity is epic widescreen Ennio Morricone transplantedto 70’s Brooklyn. Titanic Vandalism slamsblaxploitation boogie against guitar crunch with someheavyweight vocal sparring from the ladyeez. Patricia’sMoving Picture is a sun soaked bus journey through amusical instrument shop. The only let up on Proof ofYouth comes in the shape of Vince Guaraldi / MoTucker tinged duet I Never Needed it Now So Muchand a cover version of long forgotten sound track toITV schools programme My World.
