The Cars-"Candy-O" (1979)

The Cars was an American band founded in Boston by Rick Ocasek, and they were framed within the new wave current of the late 70s and early 80s.
After a shocking first album "The Cars", they released their second album titled "Candy-O", with a suggestive cover where pin-ups are drawn.
This album was produced by Roy Thomas Baker who came from producing the Queen album "Jazz", on "Candy-O" there is a great variety of power pop, sophisticated arrangements and powerful songs, highlighting "Since I Held You" , "Double Life" or the sudden "Let's Go".
The album was catapulted to the top positions with millionaire sales, and made the group one of the sensations of the time.
Later this quintet - in addition to Ocasek, the band was composed of Benjamin Orr, David Robinson, Elliott Easton and Greg Hawkes -, would continue to publish records until almost the end of the eighties, such as "Panorama" or "Heartbeat City" which were multi platinum and reached the top of the Top-20.
