I'm fortunate enough to have missed out on the 8 tracks. I remember listening to an 8 track in someone's car and a song fading out, a clicking sound as the track changed and the same song fading back up and thinking....WTF!?!? But at that point cassettes were around (maybe not in cars yet?) so I guess that's akin to so many WTF moments my kids have with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple 8-tracks in the glove compartment and one of them was Boston, LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That song still resonates. My brother was really hard on his tapes, used to bug me that he’d put the wrong tape back. I’d not complain as he bad his mates, older, would let me copy their albums. I still have all mine, took pride in trying to write the bands name in same font they used, metal bands has same great calligraphy... And they work. I got the original for the Judas Priest “Live” album awhile back, I forget now, but one of the tracks wouldn’t fit on the cassette, it was a double album, it just ended with the tape and I thought that was how it always ended... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust in Peace had many many rotations in my early years. Such a great album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
