THE CARS Shake It Up (Original Master Recording limited edition 9-track LP half-speed mastered by Rob LoVerde on the GAIN 2™ Ultra Analog System at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. A return to form after the departure that was 1980's muddledPanorama, The Cars' Shake It Up bursts forth with a rich assembly of synthesizers, drum machines, electronic blips, and catchy melodies that make it an early 80s pop staple. Known the world over, the famous title track proves the band's arrangement skills were in perfect shape and set the stage for a record overflowing with memorable hooks and complementary rock riffs. Gatefold picture sleeve individually gold-foil numbered and factory sealed inside its loose perforated bag. Recommended).

The Cars Shake It Up - Original Master Recording 180 Gram - Sealed US vinyl LP album (LP record)
Tracklisting / Additional Info: 1981 Cars Album Is a New-Wave Landmark: Shake It Up Features Smash Title Track and Production by Roy Thomas Baker

Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM LP Delivers Ric Okasek and
Company's Rebound Effort in Audiophile Sound

1/4" / 15 IPS analog master direct to lathe

Shake It Up plays witness to primary songwriter/vocalist Ric Ocasek's increased cynicism and biting wit. While the Cars never took a rosy-eyed view of romance, the songs here impart a newfound sense of sympathy, regret, limbo, and reservation. The beauty of the Cars – and all ten tunes here – is that the music suggests something else entirely. Such subliminal emotions and dynamic contrasts act as a magnet, and the band plays as if it's in on the secret.

As Robert Christgau observed: “They've always cultivated a dark side--girls make boys want to end it all even after the boys have grown up. They've always basked in the shadow of Roxy Music, too. But they've never been so stylishly nightmarish--except for the title cut, even the fast ones don't aim for fun.”

Apart from the party vibe of the title cut, the Cars aim for deeper targets and smarter undertones. Shake It Up is defined by an urban edginess and modern feel that comes alive on tunes such as "Cruiser" and circular "I'm Not the One," a pop gem laded with stacked vocals and keyboard lines that double as a horn section. The band's arrangements have never been better – or more involved. Absent the cheesiness that would mar the group's late-period work, the songs ride on the strength of keyboard-heavy lines and layered harmonies. You will not be disappointed.

Sourced from the original analog tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g LP focuses on the myriad pitch changes that control the musical directions. Recorded at the band’s Synchro Sound studios by famed Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker, the album takes advantage of electronic textures and varying timbres in immersing the listener in accessible albeit abstract washes of sound.
