Title: Early-90s "dump" to CD needs RE-MASTERING!
Product review: There's a problem here. The Cars sold mega-platinum, especially Heartbeat City, which virtually defined the mid-1980s sound and look. So! Why is this CD a crude, early transfer with virtually no packaging?Seems the problem is, Elektra's out of business, or bought-out by a larger, more apathetic company. Also, could be the more "casual" Cars fans are tired of these Top Ten singles and MTV staples.Being ignored are we, the long-term, die-hard Cars fans who listen to EVERY album, EVERY summer ("it turns me upside-down / like a merry-go-round"). Whether this album is too commercial, or that other album too "arty" is NOT THE POINT. We deserve a quality reproduction of this ground-breaking album.Sadly, this current CD version is sonically INFERIOR to a clean cassette, or even vinyl on a good turntable. This. Is. WRONG.
