Go 2 is XTC’s second album. It was released on 6 October 1978.
The album’s cover was designed and executed by Hipgnosis. It consists of an essay about how album covers are used to attract buyers of the album.
The essay on the LP started and ended with the words “This is a RECORD COVER”, the essay on the cassette started and ended with the words “This is a CASSETTE COVER” and the essay on the CD started and ended with the words “This is a COMPACT DISC COVER”. On the first British pressings of the LP version of the Go 2 album the track listing on the vinyl disc label mimicked the type style of the cover art. The label is crammed full of text beginning with “This is a RECORD LABEL.” — Wikipedia
