The Cars, The Cars (Self-Titled), 1978 on Elektra

Debut album from Boston’s own The Cars, out in 1978 on Elektra, and produced by Thomas Baker. Killer debut, with “Just What I Needed,” “My Best Friend’s Girl,” “Good Times Roll,” and “Moving In Stereo.” Ric Ocasek, Benjamin Orr, Elliot Easton, David Robinson, and Greg Hawkes in the original lineup.

My copy, via a private sale, is an RCA Club edition pressed at RCA’s Indianapolis plant, with the original inner.

#CurrentlyReading This is a pretty good read if you're into #TheCars. Most everyone who had anything to do with the band is interviewed. Love the chapters about the early years when #RicOcasek + #BenjaminOrr were ambitious but kinda rootless and unfocused. Also some insights into the industry's transition from bloated 1970s arena rock to garish 1980s video rock. Ain't always pretty LOL! 🎵 🎶 📖 👍 😁 #GregHawkes #ElliotEaston #DavidRobinson #ClassicRock #Music #Books #Biographies #PublicLibrary

Kinda interesting scrapbook documentary about #TheCars here. It looks amateurish, but apparently it's an official release, produced by #RicOcasek in 2006. Some good live footage, but could have used more of #ElliotEaston on guitar. Backstage footage kinda drags. Goes to show they were shiny and modern on the surface, dirty and noisy underneath. True to their name ;-) 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #RockAndRoll #ClassicRock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9MR57vKaTQ
