I was really surprised when this was released. It was mastered at RTI which has the reputation of being one of the greatest vinyl manufactures in the US. This album got the full MFSL treatment being released on 180 gram vinyl. I have the original Japanese Release with its OBI and it sounds great, but this sounds incredible with no crackling or pops if well cared for.The songs are great songs from my youth. They include:Side one:1. "Let's Go"2. "Since I Held You"3. "It's All I Can Do"4. "Double Life"5. "Shoo Be Doo"6. "Candy-O"Side Two7. "Nightspots"8. "You Can't Hold on Too Long"9. "Lust for Kicks"10. "Got a Lot on My Head"11. "Dangerous Type"This is without a doubt one, if not the best, Cars album ever released. It was the beginning of synthesizers and New Wave music and it took the world by storm. If you have a turntable and like this album, you should buy it before they are gone. These are numbered and even though they press quite a lot of them, once they are out of production, they increase in value at a rapid rate. Just wish they would give "Panorama" the MFSL treatment. This takes me back to being a teen in the early eighties and all the excess that went with that amazing decade of time.The one thing I wish Amazon would start doing is allowing the vinyl to be opened at the buyers request and shipped outside of the sleeve. This is how all of my "go to sellers " for vinyl ship the vinyl I buy from them and I never get any seam splits. I have more seam splits from Amazon than any other dealer. The MFSL are not as bad about this as others, but I have a couple that have shipping seam splits. I buy a lot of vinyl from Japan and I never get seam splits because they ship the vinyl outside of the cover. I would buy more from Amazon if they started this option.
