8-track tapes

October 2nd was the 30th anniversary of the Compact Disc, thanks Anthony!
So all this week I'd like to share the different music formats from my collection starting with the....
8-track tape
Yes I still have a few of these around and a player that still works! I have to admit to fond memories of tooling around in large 70's era cars with the latest 8-track player rocking with a tape. These tapes would fade out in the middle of a song, clunk over to the next track and fade back in to finish the song. The great thing about the 8-track was that this was the first recorded device for most people to have in thier cars as it would not skip.
Also the ability to record tracks from records and make the first mix tapes, Bunch O' Junk, indeed!
As you can see from the selection mostly 70's era music.
I have a 8 track player that still works. Not sure where my tapes are. Nice memory.
