I lived in Boston at the time and in June of that year, I was at the Strawberries in Kenmore Square just after seeing a Red Sox game at Fenway. The featured album playing was this album by a local band called The Cars. It was such a unique sound that I just had to have that album right then and there.
I spent the rest of the summer wearing out the grooves on that thing. The second album in 1979 (Candy-O) was just as good.
Anyway, below is that album cover as well as the model that posed for it.
