No lie, #EastSideStory remains one of the best bootleg compilation series EVER. In my book, it beats out #KilledByDeath (punk rarity ≠ punk quality) while running neck and neck with #BornBad (Lux & Ivy = great taste). But it's most perfect on #8Track: all those teenage tales of broken hearts, the desperate, welling tears, and of course the soulful falsettos ringing out from your car stereo as you cruise the blvd-of-your-memory one last time.

"Les Jerks Électroniques De La Messe Pour Le Temps Présent Et Musiques Concrètes Pour Maurice Béjart" (aka The Electronic Jerks of the Mass for the Present Time and Concrete Music for Maurice Béjart) by Pierre Henry & Michel Colombier. Yep that electronic intro to “Jericho Jerk” was sampled by #DJPremier and #DAngelo in “Devil’s Pie” - tho, I expect not from an #8tracktape.

Here "Continuous Play" takes on ominous connotations

These days, I'm much more likely to take mine over-easy, if at all. But that don't mean this #8TrackTape isn't a guilty pleasure - in a greasy, cholesterol-heavy sorta way. Jim Dandy to the rescue!

Nothing special about this space-themed disco-lite #8Track relic on the Gordy label from 1979. EXCEPT: Apollo lead guitarist Larry B. Robinson would go on to
1) release a very peculiar #Baháʼí influenced homemade electronic LP entitled "Spiritual Technology" under the name OMb at the dawn of the 80s
2) play lead guitar on a garage-y later 80s #AngrySamoans track entitled "Unhinged"
3) form #MooseheartFaithStellarGrooveBand with ex-Angry Samoan Todd Homer who sounded like obscure, privately-pressed late 60s psychedelic bands on every one of their dozen+ CDs/EPs
4) play lead guitar in the LA-based freejazz/freakrock/comedy collective #HollywoodSquaretet in the early 2000s
Not too many #Motown alumni have gone on to navigate such uncharted musical terrain.
