The Cars, 12" Picture Disc, Shake it Up, KMET promo, 1 of 50 copies

Description: Back in the good old days of vinyl there were rock n roll radio stations in most towns,featuring a disc jockey actually choosing records to play and shooting the breeze with the audience. The big challenge for record companies then was getting their releases in heavy rotation: Played on every show. Promo copies of "Shake it Up" as a picture disc were madeand given to DJs at leading radio stations to give away to listeners, . These discs were invariably one sided, the backside being left bank.They are very, very rare:A typical run would be 10 copies a market for the top 20-25makets. So a run of these promo discs would be 250-300 copies In big markets the dominant station could get up 25-50 copies. Thesecame with Shake it Up on the front and the radio stations call letters on the rear. These you just never see.
