Album of the Day

Following the massive success of The Cars' multi-platinum debut, the quintet teamed up once again with producer Roy Thomas Baker (Queen) to record CANDY-O. The album was released in the summer of 1979 and became a huge hit, peaking at #3 on the Billboard album chart and eventually earned quadruple-platinum certification in the U.S. alone. The 11 tracks include such favorites as “It's All I Can Do,” “Dangerous Type” and “Let's Go,” which was the band's first Top 15 hit on the Billboard singles chart. The new CANDY-O: EXPANDED EDITION adds seven bonus tracks; among the highlights are unreleased alternate mixes of "Let's Go" and "Lust For Kicks," as well as the previously unissued song "They Won't See You (The Northern Studios Version)."
