Dancing on the Couch

Dancing on the Couch is the second studio album by English pop duo Go West, released in 1987. It reached number 19 on the UK Albums Chart.

The American version of the album featured a slightly different cover (zoomed in further on the image of band members Peter Cox and Richard Drummie on the couch) and included the track "Don't Look Down – The Sequel" (a slightly enhanced version of a song from Go West's debut album) in place of "Let's Build a Boat". "Don't Look Down – The Sequel" would become Go West's first top 40 hit in the United States.

On November 8, 2023, Chrysalis released a 3-CD, 1-DVD, Set of the album, newly remastered by producer Gary Stevenson, with a separate disc including B-sides, Remixes, Rarities, and a third disc with the 1987 Runaway Train Tour: Live at Hammersmith Odeon. A DVD of the concert is also included.
