"Go West" is the debut album by the English pop duo Go West, released in 1985. The album brought Go West into the limelight, scoring them a string of top 20 hits in the UK and New Zealand. "We Close Our Eyes" was the most successful single, reaching #1 in New Zealand and #5 in the UK.

Album history

Go West had been writing songs for the album since 1982, when they were formed in London by Peter Cox and Richard Drummie. Two songs featured on the album, "We Close Our Eyes" and "Call Me", helped Go West land a record deal with Chrysalis Records.

The album featured more Top 10 UK/NZ hits than any of their other albums and helped them to be voted the "Best Newcomers" at the 1986 Brit Awards.
