Beatitude is the debut album released by Ric Ocasek, lead singer and principal songwriter of The Cars. It was released by Geffen Records in 1982. It features Greg Hawkes of The Cars on keyboards, as well as Jules Shear and Stephen Hague from Jules and the Polar Bears.
The title is a play on the term "beat," but also an homage to the 1950s poetry magazine Beatitude, which featured work by, among others Allen Ginsberg. The Geffen CD issue of the release has the title mis-printed, on the disc, as "Beautitude."
All tracks composed by Ric Ocasek; except where noted.
Although the album track "Connect Up to Me" was given an extended 12" remix, it was never released as a single. The extended mix is on the cassette and CD editions.
