Vacation was the Go-Go's second album, released in 1982. Both "Vacation" and "Cool Jerk" scored on the pop charts, and the Go-Go's were riding high at this time, with the group's future looking great. However, signs of future problems were beginning to show, as the members' drug use and internal fighting began to escalate.
