"Streets Of Your Town" is a song by Australian indie group The Go-Betweens that was released as the lead single from their 1988 album 16 Lovers Lane. Featuring polished production, a prominent backing vocal by Amanda Brown and a guitar solo by bassist John Willsteed, "Streets of Your Town" is one of the band's most recognised songs. It was released in July 1988 in the UK on Beggars Banquet, where it reached #80 on the singles charts^[1] and in Australia in August 1988 on Mushroom,^[2] where it reached #68.^[3] In New Zealand, the song was issued in November 1988, and was a top 40 hit, peaking at #30^[4]—the band's highest-ever placing on any national chart.
