    Incredible pressing. Great airy soundstage that has punch when needed. Generally, Roy Thomas Baker produced records sound a bit boxy to me (drums anyway). No such thing on this record. Sounds terrific! Do not hesitate to get a copy of this, it sounds as good as it gets.

      This is a great sounding record. Very crisp and balanced. Well produced, for sure.

          Most excellent early 1980s pop rock album, The Cars "Shake It Up" does not disappoint with that classic Cars sound of music melodies and lyrics and performance. Rick Ocasek has a unique voice all to his own in the rock music industry. If you're a Cars fan this album is a "must have" for your collection.

            Another brilliant LP cover from The Cars. This lady is a real stunner, I would love her to come around to my house and shake up an exotic cocktail for me sometime, it would have to be when my mam has gone out to church for the evening though as she is adamant I shouldn’t drink alcohol!!
