the last one

Got an idea from Share Poo( ;) ).

What was the last 8-track tape you ever bought?

Mine was The Henry Paul Band's "Grey Ghost".

Good album too!!

[share poo]

That time in my life remains a bit hazy, but i do remember that it was a doobie brothers album.

[Potato]

YEEESH SharePoo's here too.

*slaps forehead*

I don't think 8 tracks were cool when I was born.....

[DudeAsInCool]

Never owned one...

[Excrement_Cranium]

The Jimmi Hendrix Experience.

My first car, a 1976 Toyota Cellica, still had the stock 8-track player in it.

I bought Hendrix, and Jefferson Airplane.

[method77]

my parents own some of those although the player doesn't work anymore

This is what I had for my stereo setup in college to go with my 650+ LPs. The speakers and turntable were actually a couple grades up, but I couldnt find a jpg anywhere :(

O! How can I forget! Carolina Dreams...Marshall Tucker!

I think it was a K-Tel cassette called "Dimensions." It had artists like Pat Benatar, Rick Springfield and Alan Parsons on it. I'd still prolly enjoy it today.

Never have owned one.

I had a Quadrophonic 8-track in my 1972 Monte Carlo...I believe the last one I bought was Santana's Caravanserai album.

I don't believe I ever bought one. Instead I bought 2 Akai 7" reel to reel decks, an Akai 8 track tape recorder, and a variety of turntables, cassette recorders (one of them was a Pioneer CT-F9191 which was the top of the line model when I bought it in 1973 and I still use it today) and so forth. I made copies of my friends albums, tapes and stuff so I had plenty of tunes and they all had backup copies.

When I tell you I am a pirate, I mean I have been a pirate for 35 yrs and counting.

The RIAA can kiss my Jurassic Ass. :)

I never owned one either. My brother had one, but but the time I first approached "my friends at Columbia House" to purchase my first selections for a hard-earned penny, cassette were the standard.

This might amuse some of you. Two of my seven selections were Jacko tapes.

Which ones? I may have or may want a copy. :)

[method77]

back then, everyone was buying Jacko. I have sone of his albums on tape as well

The RIAA can go fuck themselves.

I failed to mention that my first car I got when I was 19... in 1997.

Got my 8-tracks at Goodwill.

Also got a lot of old stereo equipment when I was younger, and I had an 8-track-to-cassette adapter.

[rainbowdemon]

Got my first car at the age of 19 also. In 1975!!

[CTC Command]

How cool is this? I had an 8-track RECORDER...built into the Sears stereo my folks bought probably sometime around 1974. I remember making a homemade tape of In Through The Out Door that we listened to in my mothers '79 Ford Granada, which had a built-in 8 track player.

And some one gave me some 8-track tapes--I know I never bought any, but I had Ted Nugent Double Live Gonzo and I think some Steve Miller Band and Nazareth's Hair Of The Dog.

[rainbowdemon]

Very cool!! My mother got me something similar for Christmas, think it was 1975. It was a Sears 8-track recorder, but it was a seperate component.

[bear]

I believe the last 8 track I ever bought was Ted Nugent ~ Free For All.

Did anyone else do the matchbook shoved under the 8 track?

Yep...it worked.
