The Cars Cars, The SKU: MFSL1274 Barcode: 821797127417 46.00 £46.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity Released Date: 25th August 2009 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Add to basket Reserve Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info When it comes to new-wave, one band towers over the rest of the field. With a sound that’s synonymous with great 80s pop and arena-sized hooks, the Cars became a veritable greatest hits factory. 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 favourite 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. Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes for the first time in history, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered, limited-edition 180-gram vinyl LPs of the Boston quintet’s blockbuster 1978 debut The Cars (on which every song is a radio classic). Their follow up album “Candy-O” will follow in October.
