Album Notes
2 LPs on 1 cassette. THE CARS was released in 1978. CANDY-O was released in 1979. Both are available seperately on CD and cassette.
The first two Cars albums, combined here, accomplished a daunting task. They gained mainstream acceptance while still maintaining some "new wave" credibility. Radio and fans couldn't get enough of the group's mix of old-fashioned rock & roll hooks and electronic accoutrements. David Robinson's booming electronic drum kit and synth man Greg Hawkes's tongue-in-cheek futurism framed Ric Ocasek-penned songs that wouldn't have sounded out of place ten years earlier, if not for his dips into absurdist wordplay.
Despite the innate catchiness of such tunes as "Let's Go" and "My Best Friend's Girl," there was a level of ironic detachment maintained at all times by the Cars. It was in Ocasek and bassist Ben Orr's laconic vocal delivery, and in the permafrost arrangements. This quality, likely a result of Roxy Music and Velvet Underground influences, was the semi-subtle nudge that the group offered to its "hipper" fans to let them know the Cars weren't mindless pop merchants. In the end, it didn't matter, as long as those hooks kept coming.
