| | Description: | 1984 will always be remembered for the debut of the Macintosh computer, the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and the ascent of MTV as the most powerful cultural medium of the era. The year is also recognized for the Cars' savvy contributions not only to the burgeoning music-video channel but to pop itself. Released in April, the four-times platinum Heartbeat City would ultimately spawn five Top 40 singles â?? four of them landing in the Top 20, two in the Top 10 â?? and serve as the final memorable record from the Boston group, which would disband in 1987. - EXPANDED EDITION W/6 BONUS TRACKSDigitally remastered and expanded edition. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induct The Cars in April 2018, honoring the legendary band's incredible musical legacy and enormous commercial success. Rhino kicks off the celebration early with this expanded edition of Heartbeat City. Each release features the original album - remastered in 2016 - expanded with rare and unreleased bonus tracks. Illustrated booklets accompany the music and contain liner notes written by renowned rock journalist David Fricke, who details the history of each album with new interviews by band members Ric Ocasek. The album, which peaked at #3 on the charts, went on to sell four million copies, making it the band's fifth consecutive platinum album. An amazing success, the album launched five tracks that reached the Top 40, including the Top Ten hits "Drive" and "You Might Think." Videos for the songs received heavy airplay on MTV, including "Hello Again," which was directed by Andy Warhol, and "You Might Think," which won the inaugural MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year in 1984.

Printed in U.S.A."Heartbeat City - Expanded" on CD is a deluxe edition of The Cars' classic mid-80s album, presenting the band's sleek blend of new wave, rock and pop with a modern, detailed sound. This expanded version typically adds rare or previously unreleased material such as bonus tracks, single mixes, B-sides or live recordings, offering a deeper look into the original studio sessions and the creative phase around the album. Fans can expect crisp production, memorable hooks and atmospheric synth textures that capture the transition from late-70s new wave to radio-ready 80s pop rock, all in a high-quality CD presentation that suits collectors and new listeners alike.
The Cars, formed in Boston in the late 1970s, became one of the defining bands of the new wave era with their cool, minimalist aesthetic and sharp songwriting. They are known for combining guitar-driven rock with catchy synth lines and dry, ironic lyrics. Across their career, they released multiple successful albums and a string of enduring hits, establishing themselves as key figures in the bridge between classic rock and MTV-era pop. Their music videos, innovative at the time, helped solidify their presence in early music television and earned them a lasting place in rock history.
