Here’s a Canadian Elektra pressing of The Cars’ commercial breakthrough “Heartbeat City” from 1984, representing the band at their absolute peak of songcraft and production wizardry. This album marked a fascinating evolution for the Boston quintet, as they fully embraced the sleek, synthesizer-driven sound that would define mid-80s rock while never losing their knack for irresistible hooks. Producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, fresh off his work with Def Leppard’s “Pyromania,” helped craft some of the most enduring radio staples of the decade here, including “You Might Think,” “Magic,” and the title track. The album’s success was staggering it spawned five Top 40 hits and sold over four million copies, cementing The Cars’ transition from quirky new wave darlings to mainstream rock royalty.
