Does anybody still have any?

My sister still has some of hers. I can still remember when she got her first and only 8 track player.

I probably still have some but they in all likelihood collected dust. A couple of my sisters have tons of them.

8 Tracks Rock!:dance: :clap: :lol:

Eh, my parents got rid most theirs around 1992 when my dad realized he lost his old 8-track player.

He kept some of the "key" ones. I still think that 8-tracks suck.

I only have 2 left and I can't see myself parting with them. :lol:

i have 1 but i bought it off of ebay last year its called partridge family sound magazine even though i dont have a player for it lol

I have one 8 Track.

"The Story Of Star Wars," which is part of my Star Wars Archives.

Please keep your ooohs and aaahs to a minimum.

;)

The only 8 track that I have left is George Harrison's "Concert For Bangledesh". But where it is I have no idea! Probably in the garage somewhere!:(

OOOOH, AAAAHH!!!:)

Just a quick question if anybody an answer it. Were 8-Tracks and CART Tapes (those tapes that many radio stations used for commercials & jingles) the same thing? Or were they a different audio format altogether?

Thanks :)

I have lots of 8-track tapes in my closet.

How about a tape deck for those 8-Tracks. ;)

I have to agree with SBTB Geek, 8-track tapes did pretty much suck. If you wanted to hear a certain song, or if you listened to a song and wanted to hear it again, you couldn't just rewind it, you had to listen to another song you didn't like until your song played again.

I had a few as a kid, they might be in my parent's garage, um, I mean 'the black hole'!!

The first car I bought in High School (a 78 Camaro) had an 8 track tape deck.

Here are the 8-track tapes just for you. These are blanks.

My dad had an 8-track player in his BMW, and I think we had one in the Pontiac, and then the Volvo, too. (And maybe in the Alpha Romeo before the BMW?) Hard to remember so far back! We had 8-tracks of all the popular musicals - Sound of Music, Hello, Dolly!, Oliver!, and some others. My parents played them ad nauseum, especially on long car trips. I just remember that the way the music was interrupted when the tape switched tracks bugged the heck out of me! I don't know if they still have these tapes or not, I'll have to check (they probably tossed them out a long time ago, though...too bad, they're probably collector's items now.)

Plus sometimes a song would be split in the middle, you'd hear the first half of a song, it fades out, the tape switches then fades back in with the second half of the song.

Its being serviced right now (I hope) the last I checked the guy hadnt come get it where I brought it and it had been a week already!!

I have about 50 tapes..... Only 1 has dolby and Im glad of that!!!

I know what an eight-track tape looks like, but I have never heard what it sounds like. Does it sound like a cassette tape does or does it sound more like a record does?

God bless you always!!!

Cassettes and 8 Tracks sound similar.The advantage was that cassettes were much smaller.

i don't remember seeing any even when i was a kid in the 70s.

Hmmm thats strange cause they very much were about in the 70s :)
