The Cars’ ‘Candy-O’ and ‘Panorama’ reissued with remastered audio, unreleased tracks

Rhino Records this summer will reissue The Cars’ second and third albums — 1979’s Candy-O and 1980’s Panorama — in expanded editions featuring audio remastered under bandleader Ric Ocasek’s supervision and previously unreleased tracks and mixes from those records’ sessions.

The two reissues will be out July 28 on CD, double-vinyl and digital formats. The vinyl releases will include gatefold sleeves and music on three sides, with etchings on the fourth.

The Candy-O reissue features seven bonus tracks, including a B-side and five alternate studio versions of album tracks, plus the previously unissued “They Won’t See You.” And the Panorama re-release includes four bonus tracks: a B-side and three previously unissued songs.
