More Cars Reissues on the Way!

The good times continue to roll for The Cars’ catalog!

On the heels of the band’s pending induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the four and fifth studio albums will be getting the reissue treatment. Expanded editions of 1981’s Shake It Up and 1984’s Heartbeat City will be released on March 30.

Both reissues will feature rare and previously unreleased bonus tracks (see tracklisting below) and new liner note interviews from Ric Ocasek. Fans can even get a peek at what to expect from the bonus tracks by checking out the demo version of “Drive” here.

Both reissues are available for pre-order at TheCars.org.
