The Cars are streaming the unreleased track, “They Won’t See You”, as a preview to the July 28 release of an expanded reissue of their 1979 album, “Candy-O.”
The Northern Studios session recording of the tune follows a stripped-down demo version originally included in the 1999 reissue of the Boston, MA band’s 1978 debut.
Led by the US Top 15 hit single “Let’s Go”, “Candy-O” reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 on its way to US platinum sales within two months after release, eventually racking up US sales of more than 4 million copies.
The expanded “Candy-O” reissue features the original album plus six bonus tracks of alternate mixes and the previously unissued version of "They Won't See You."
An expanded reissue of The Cars’ third album, “Panorama”, will also be released on July 28.
The group’s third consecutive platinum album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with the help of the US Top 40 single, “Touch And Go.”
The expanded reissue of “Panorama” presents the original release plus four bonus tunes, including the previously unreleased songs "Shooting For You," "Be My Baby" and "The Edge."
The “Candy-O” and “Panorama” reissues will be available on CD, 2LP vinyl and digitally.
Track lists for both projects can be found below.
