Nine amazing 8-track tapes from a thrift store including two Rolling Stones, two Bruce Springsteen, Charlie Daniels Band, Fleetwood Mac Rumours and three Led Zeppelin. And 8 of the nine play perfectly.

I love this video of music nostalgia. It’s been so many decades since I played my “Led Zeppelin II” 8-track nearly to death. And, yet, I clearly remember “the split.” Thanks for the memories!

Thanks - - yes we can never forget the split, once we experience it....on virtually every 8-track...lol. Thanks again.

@anthonyaswe41742 ай бұрын
Hi Alan…I don’t think I’ve ever purchased an 8 track-ever. The format never appealed me. They had this “toss around” quality, since I remember getting in and out of cars in my youth, and there’d be piles of 8 tracks on the back seat-and people would plop them in, pop ‘em out, toss them, and grab another. I was a little too nerdy with my music collection, as I would be very guarded with my records, and obsessive about keeping them as pristine as possible. I remember coming across my original vinyl copies of ‘Black and Blue’ and ‘Presence’ and even impressed myself at how clean they still were, 40 years after buying them originally. Granted, they’ve spent much of the last couple of decades untouched on various shelves and cabinets. Plus, the “jumble” programming really annoyed me, as I wanted to hear the program as the artist created it. And that “bleeding” you speak of-hearing the din of another tune in the background-just couldn’t deal with it. But for what it’s worth, the only 8 track I spent a lot of time with was-Saturday Night Fever! Only because my sister had it, and it was the only way I could listen to the album. And I thought, even as a young, rock obsessive, that it was an incredible album-something my rock friends wouldn’t let me live down back then. But it still stands as some amazing music, if you ask me. I wonder what happened to that old 8 track??? Probably lost on the back seat of someone’s Chevy Nova…
@TheAlanRosenbergShow2 ай бұрын
I actually agree with you. Back in the 70s when I had 8 tracks the majority were blank that I recorded live concerts from the radio and copies of my sisters albums. On occasion I would buy one from a used store and it was. Completely different experience from the vinyl with the tracks in different order. Not necessarily for the better of course. Now that I’m old and going back in time. I’m actually enjoying them. Strange how that happens.

Hey Alan-Bro!…I actually have a number of mid-period Charlie DB cassettes that I can’t wait to dig into, also love the songs “In America” and “Legend Of Wooley Swamp”…Yeah, PF’s Animals on 8-Track had some sort of “thing” going on (Snowy White guitar/Alternate Sequencing)…In Through The Outdoor is very underrated, a mature LZ ushering in the 80s by embracing synths and stuff, really cool…Ya Rock!
@TheAlanRosenbergShow2 ай бұрын
Thanks. Those old Charlie Daniels albums are great. Yes Animals on 8 track is unique. Pigs on the Wing both parts are combined as one song with a unique guitar solo in between Very cool.

The only 8-track you displayed on your show that I owned was Love You Live. I have fond memories of that tape playing in my '69 orange Mustang in the high school parking lot, and just driving around town with friends doing what 17 year olds do at that time. (Not much of a sexy album cover though.)

The one 8-track (and the first 8-track I ever heard) that had an enormous impact on me was Alice Cooper's "Muscle of Love," which I heard for the first time as a kid while visiting my out-of-state grandmother's house. My uncle had left it behind when he joined the Army and I've been a big fan of the original Alice Cooper group ever since.

Hi mate what a joke. So a rappers "trouble" goes out wrapped in a see thru sheet. Her "jack", "thrupennies" and "bottle" for all to see. That's fine. People being blown to pieces fine too. A piece about sleeve artwork injected with some humour. OMG!!! End of world alert. Quite the find with the 8 tracks. I always found it off listening to albums that I knew so well with a different running order due to the tech limitations of the medium. I have no doubt you will work out the rhyming slang in my comments. I wouldn't want to upset You tube by using the real words. Pretty sure the bots don't speak cockney . If they can then they are a bunch of Billy hunts Top show as ever

But i never used it for playing music. I did have the Van Halen albums on 8-track in my collection but sold them off maybe 2-3 yrs ago. Always fun to see this kinda stuff. When are ya doing a video of sexiest 8-tracks?
