I love this vinyl pressing. I bought my copy in the mid-1980s, new, from a local record store that occasionally stocked these dodgy-looking Portugese import LPs, and the Sterling mastering comes across beautifully. "Since You're Gone" jumps out of the speakers, with solid bass, tight cymbals on the drum kit and clear vocals. OK, the quality of the songwriting is not as consistent as the opening one-two salvo of "The Cars" and "Candy-O", and they would reach greater heights on 1984's "Heartbeat City", but this has some superb moments.
