Notes

Columbia, Terre Haute pressing variant as indicated by "1T" etched in runouts, and 2.70" press ring on labels.

Note: For some reason most red label pressings of this release from Columbia during this era have a "(PRC-W)"
plant code printed on the labels. This code is not valid on Columbia pressings and should be considered as a
manufacturing mistake and ignored in such cases.
The actual "PRC-W" (Compton) version can be found here: The Cars - The Cars

    This pressing fills the space very well; great soundstage, balance, highs/lows. Preferred over my 2009 MoFi.
