Sonically Spectacular LP by Mobile Fidelity

1981 Album a Return to Pop and a New-Wave Landmark

A return to form after the departure that was 1980’s muddled Panorama, the Cars’ Shake It Up bursts forth with a rich assembly of synthesizers, drum machines, electronic blips, and catchy melodies that make it an early 80s pop staple.
