The cover of the 12in long-playing album had the magical effect of making the record within the cover seem more important than it was. It’s this canvas, longingly gazed at through the […]

And from these numbers you’d imagine the size of each power cord is getting smaller, corresponding to the smaller number, […]
Coming off the less-than-classic Shake It Up, the Cars decided again to change things up, this time moving from their home studio in Boston to London to record with Mutt Lange.
