Sadness and joy: The Go-Betweens in 1988

GRANT US MORE GO-BETWEENS

Thanks for featuring The Go-Betweens in last month’s Album By Album [January 2025; Take 334]. It was good to hear Lindy’s and Amanda’s voices in there, particularly their contrasting views on 16 Lovers Lane. The sadness and the joy they reflected on was very moving. You should do an Album By Album on the solo records made by Grant and Robert, if only to bring some much-needed attention to Grant’s work. The highlight would have to be Horsebreaker Star, one of the great lost albums, and his song “Coming Up For Air”, perhaps the best “Go-Between” song of them all.
