Steve Hoffman the guru mastering engineer of these DCC Limited Edition masterpieces rates this Cars Hits pressing as one of his all-time favorites. He says it was a pain in the butt to cut, but the results were well worth it. Mr. Hoffman complied this collection of hits from the actual British two-track stereo master tapes and was very proud of the way it turned out. Hoffman in all of the DCC Hits Collections never used the usual Record Company Greatest Hits Dubs but went back to the actual 1st generation studio mixes. No one else ever took that pains taking effort to insure the finest quality ever and is the reason these DCC Hits Collections are an audiophile's dream pressing.

LIMITED EDITION. This Limited Edition FACTORY SEALED LP is an audiophile collector’s item that simply gives the feeling of being directly in the studio with the artist. This recording is re-mastered from the Original Session Tapes on DCC’s vintage Vacuum-Tube Playback System. The plating of the lacquers is done the same day as cutting using a slow low temperature bath to minimize groove echo and loss of frequency information. The result is the best sounding series of LPs in history.

This Out of Print collectible LP has all Liner Notes, Photos, and Artwork from the Original LP faithfully recreated.

A SONIC WORK OF ART. These Out of Print gems are the Finest/Rarest of the audiophile LP market. The future of these collectibles is so exciting because each piece is a sonic work of art that will never be reproduced using Vacuum-Tube Playback System.

1985 Compilation Reissued on Vinyl LP!

A Treasure Trove of Chart-Topping Singles & Hit Album Tracks!

Mastered by Joe Reagoso from the Original Elektra Records Tapes!

The legendary alternative rockers The Cars set the music world on fire back in 1977 with their superstar brand of rock and roll. Augmented with the brilliant musicianship of members Ric Ocasek, Benjamin Orr, Elliot Easton, David Robinson and Greg Hawkes, their initial offerings would prove to become the huge catalyst for things to come.

The Cars released six smash albums - The Cars, Candy-O, Panorama, Shake It Up, Heartbeat City and Door to Door - with singles and hit album tracks that would take the band to the top of all the popular music charts, as these masterpiece albums would become classic rock manna for the ages.

Their performances were of legendary proportions, which still makes them one of the most successful live acts of the classic rock era. With massive radio airplay and, of course, an amazing string of number one singles and hit albums, The Cars to this day are still revered and loved by their continual growing legion of fans worldwide.

After delivering a plethora of hits in rapid succession for Elektra Records, the label honored this hugely popular band with their incredible greatest hits album, simply titled The Cars Greatest Hits.

Filled with a treasure trove of chart-topping singles and hit album tracks from their smash albums, this incredible 1985 effort is one of the biggest greatest hits albums ever released, with over six million units sold!

No stone is left unturned, as this 12-track masterpiece is loaded with hit after hit, featuring smash singles like "Just What I Needed," "Drive," "Let's Go," "Good Times Roll," "Shake It Up" and "My Best Friend's Girl."

As one of the most enduring albums in their massive career catalog, The Cars Greatest Hits includes even more significant hit tracks like the power ballad "I'm Not the One" and more hard rock classic hits like "Touch and Go," "You Might Think" and the number one rocker made especially for this album "Tonight She Comes." All in all, a collection of songs which took the fans by storm!

Friday Music is very pleased to revisit The Cars Greatest Hits. Mastered impeccably from the original Elektra Records tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and at Capitol Records, this amazing classic album will truly bring back many memories of just how great The Cars were.
