Shake It Up

Ric Ocasek, Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes, Benjamin Orr and David Robinson recorded Shake It Up in 1981 at Syncro Sound, the group’s new studio in Boston, with producer Roy Thomas Baker. Working in their own space afforded them the time to perfect the sound of the album, which sold more than two million copies. It features the unforgettable singles Since You’re Gone, Think It Over and Shake It Up.
