Away We A Go-Go is a 1966 album by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. The album features the singles "(Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need",a Billboard Top 20 Pop hit, written and produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland; and "Whole Lot Of Shakin' In My Heart (Since I Met You)" , written and produced by Frank Wilson. The album uses a different take of "I'm The One You Need" than what was issued on the single.

Also featured are covers of contemporary hits, among them The Temptations' "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep",(which The Miracles actually recorded in 1964, some two years before The Temptations did),^[2] Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me, and two Dionne Warwick songs, "Walk On By", and " Don't Know What To Do With Myself". Although not pictured on the cover (or on any Miracles album cover since 1963's The Fabulous Miracles), original Miracles member Claudette Robinson is pictured with the group on this album's back cover. Away We A Go-Go was originally released on CD in 1992, and was re- released in 2002 in a Motown 2-disc set with The Miracles' 1965 Going To A Go-Go album.
