Panorama

Description

Following the massive success of The Cars multi-platinum debut in 1978, the band kept its platinum-album streak rolling with Candy-O and Panorama, releases that include memorable hits like Lets Go, Its All I Can Do and Touch and Go. For the first time ever, the band has expanded those classics to create versions that include rare and unreleased recordings taken from the sessions for each album.

Cars mastermind Ric Ocasek recently supervised the remastering of these albums for 2016s boxed set The Cars: The Elektra Years, ensuring superior sound quality on these new versions. Presented in gatefold sleeves, the new double vinyl versions include music on three sides with an etching on the fourth.

The Cars returned in the summer of 1980 with Panorama, which became the bands third consecutive platinum release, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Album Chart. Panorama became a fan favorite thanks to songs like Touch And Go, Up And Down, and Gimme Some Slack. The Panorama: Expanded Edition builds on the original albums ten songs with four bonus tracks. They include the B-side Dont Go To Pieces, as well as unreleased songs like Shooting For You, and Be My Baby. David Wild pens the liner notes to go along with reminisces from keyboardist Greg Hawkes.
