@paulg Ok, looks like I should rephrase this. Anyone know the first band to test their songs on car radios before releasing them?

@paulg Motown Records deliberately did this in the '60s, mixing records such that they sounded good in car radios. -
@paulg Hope this link works: it says Motown rigged a special speaker in its studio in the '60s to test car sound. http://books.google.com/books?id=FQSdu0PJ7vkC&pg=PT363&lpg=PT363&dq=motown+%22car+radio%22+mixed&source=bl&ots=qKTOVtjeDa&sig=0JVMZ8I5Sf9ZfzaFRDabnb4COpc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3-X-Ubz2H9CuyAHAsYDQDQ&ved=0CDgQ6AEwBg …

@paulg I would assume most bands do the "hello kitty earbud test". Mix the music on nice monitors but test on the common, cheaper hardware.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
