THE CARS "LIVE AT THE AGORA 1978" RSD 2017 NM CONDITION STILL IN WRAP R1-559102

	£		40
	$		53

This is barely used and still looks new. The original wrapper is on it with all stickers. Bought by myself at Record Store Day in 2017, in Edinburgh. 
Recorded when they only had one album release, although there is a track off their second album. 

Nice heavy black lined paper inner sleeves. 
"The Cars were an American rock band formed in Boston in 1976. Emerging from the new wave scene in the late 1970s, they consisted of Ric Ocasek (rhythm guitar), Benjamin Orr (bass guitar), Elliot Easton (lead guitar), Greg Hawkes (keyboards), and David Robinson (drums). Ocasek and Orr shared lead vocals, and Ocasek was the band's principal songwriter and leader.
The Cars were at the forefront of the merger of 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synthesizer-oriented pop that became popular in the early 1980s. Music critic Robert Palmer, writer for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, described the Cars' musical style: "They have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the '50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend."
