Go On (Bonus Tracks)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition including five bonus tracks. When Mr. Mister's Welcome To The Real World album eventually became a huge international seller, the music business hailed them as all conquering heroes destined to take their place in the rock 'n' roll hall of fame. So much attention was focused on this their follow-up album, the meticulously crafted Go On..., with many eyes and ears confidently predicting another massive success story. Sadly, however, that was not to be. Go On... suffered at the hands of a record company corporate reshuffle, one that saw it change hands and clean out it's long time staff. RCA had been sold to German media group BMG who set in motion a restructuring of the company, a place where Mr. Mister's new music was not appreciated. It was a disappointing state of affairs as the band had poured their heart and soul into crafting an album that, in many respects, displayed a far more confident and courageous sound... but one that BMG were not sold on. Utilizing producer Kevin Killen, who had previously crafted records by U2 and Peter Gabriel, Go On... elevates the band to another creative level. The sound is perfectly pristine, boasting a brace of superb songs wrapped up in a progressive pop sheen that, even to this day, makes it entirely unfathomable as to why the record label failed to see it's potential.
