Greatest is the first greatest hits compilation album by American pop rock band The Go-Go’s, originally released in October 1990 via I.R.S. Records.

The Go-Go's are an American all-female rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1978. The Go-Go's rose to fame during the early 1980s as an all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments, rising to the top of the Billboard album charts.

The Go-Go's have had a stable line-up consisting of Charlotte Caffey on lead guitar and keyboards, Belinda Carlisle on lead vocals, Gina Schock on drums, Kathy Valentine on bass guitar, and Jane Wiedlin on rhythm guitar.

Their 1981 debut album, Beauty and the Beat, is considered one of the "cornerstone albums of US new wave", breaking barriers and paving the way for a host of other new American acts. Their debut album went on to top the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling over 7 million copies worldwide.

The Go-Go's broke up in 1985, but have reconvened several times through the 1990s and beyond, recording new material and touring. The band remains active to this day, having most recently toured in 2016, and performed several dates since then in 2018.

Greatest includes most of the hits and stand-out tracks from the band's first three studio albums, Beauty and the Beat (1981), Vacation (1982), and Talk Show (1984).

The collection does not include any new songs, except for a re-recording of the 1960s cover version of "Cool Jerk" (the 'original' version of the cover was already on the Go-Go's second album, Vacation), which was also released as the one single from the compilation, reaching #60 in the UK Singles Chart.

All their big hits are here including “Our Lips Are Sealed”, “We Got The Beat”, “Vacation” and “Head Over Heels”.

This album is a 2020 reissue on black vinyl, pressed in Europe via I.R.S. Records.
