Notes
The Cars: Ric Ocasek (vocals, guitar); Benjamin Orr (vocals, bass); Elliot Easton (guitar, background vocals); Gregg Hawkes (keyboards, saxophone, percussion, background vocals); David Robinson (drums, percussion, background vocals). Recorded at AIR Studios, London, England in Feburary, 1978. All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. The Cars: Ric Ocasek (guitar, vocals), Elliot Easton (lead guitar, background vocals), Gregg Hawkes (keyboards, saxophone, percussion, background vocals), Benjamin Orr (bass, vocals), David Robinson (drums, percussion, background vocals). Recorded at AIR Recording Studios, London, England in February, 1978. Digitally remastered by Steve Hoffman (February 1993). The Cars: Ric Ocasek (vocals, guitar); Benjamin Orr (vocals, bass); Elliot Easton (guitar); Greg Hawkes (keyboards); David Robinson (drums). Producer: Roy Thomas Baker. Compilation producer: David McLees. Ric Ocasek's songs were influenced by the Velvet Underground and the punk rock movement, but had a slick pop/rock sheen which proved very successful. After a demo version of "Just What I Needed" became a listener favorite on WBCN in Boston (the bands' homebase), they were pursued by record companies. THE CARS was recorded in 2 weeks in London, England. This ranks as one of the best debut albums from a rock band. The Cars are filed under rock, but they are closer to power pop than any other genre. Ric Ocasek sounded like a cross between the Raspberries and Television, punk sound with a pop attitude. The giveaway was the irresistible harmony-ridden hooks in just about every one of his songs. Listen again to "You're All I've Got Tonight," "Just What I Needed" or "My Best Friend's Girl" and be thrilled. Lots of chunka chunka guitar and Mamas And Papas harmonies, and rarely a dull moment. They managed only six albums in 20 years, but they never bettered this.

    Received item 5 days ahead of schedule, bravo! Very securely packaged; item arrived in mint, pristine condition. Exceptionally "outstanding" (that is, above "excellent") customer service in every respect. This is truly a "5-star" out of a "5-stars" transaction. Thank you so very much!

  • Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab

    A hybrid SACD of the Cars' first album. The audio is crisp, clear, and better than a standard CD. MOFI's method of extracting the original audio is second to none. I haven't played the SACD layer in an SACD player yet. But if the CD layer sounds this good. Then I can't wait to hear the HD side! Would recommend for any audio nerd like me.

  • Like hearing the album for the first time.

    What can I say. I was in high school when this album first came out and loved in on vinyl and cassette. To hear it in all it’s glory in SACD was to hear it for the first time again. Worth the investment.

  • Mobile Fidelity does it again!

    This MOFI SACD sounds better than any other vinyl or CD issue that I have heard. A bit pricey, but worth every penny.
