Originally released in 1984, Heartbeat City captures The Cars at the height of their creative powers, blending infectious hooks with sleek production under the guidance of legendary producer Mutt Lange. Featuring iconic hits like “Drive” and “You Might Think,” the album became a standout in the rock and new wave scenes, propelling the band to new levels of commercial and critical success.
This expanded edition of Heartbeat City offers fans a deeper look into the album’s legacy, including a bonus LP with seven rare and previously unreleased tracks—among them alternate takes and demos such as “Why Can’t I Have You” and the tender demo for “Drive.” Housed in a gatefold jacket and accompanied by an illustrated booklet with liner notes and exclusive interviews, this release is a must-have for anyone seeking to experience The Cars’ vibrant energy and artistry in a new light.
