Go West (Village People album)

Go West is the fourth studio album by the Village People, released on March 26, 1979. It features their hit singles "In the Navy" (#3 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100, #2 in the UK Top 40) and "Go West", which the Pet Shop Boys did a successful cover of in 1993.
"Billboard Magazine" stated that the album contains "some of the most irresistible rhythm in today's pop /disco genre." "Billboard" described the song "I Wanna Shake Your Hand" as "an appropriately non romantic twist on the Beatles", with its mock exhortation to "Don't be shy/ go up and say hello." AllMusic critic Amy Hanson felt that aside from the two singles and "Manhattan Woman," which she felt "contained some interesting, James Brown-inflected vocalizations," the remaining songs "sound like a rehash of the band's already released finest."
This album was reissued to CD in 1996.
"Go West" would be the band's last complete album of all-new material for Casablanca, as well as the last album to feature Victor Willis.
