#PunkRock on #8track. In particular Sire Records (a major label home to so many of the earliest punk bands) made sure their releases came out on this format.

#8TrackTuesday #DeadFormats #HomeTapingIsKillingMusic
This home taped #OtisRedding & #JimiHendrixExperience #8TrackCartridge eBay-find initially had me stumped. Where oh where had I seen those long legs on the original tape label peeking out from underneath at the bottom? Then I flashed on it: it's the Fool On The Hill album by #SergioMendesAndBrasil66, that easy-listening warhorse of conservative household music collections all across the US in the early 70s.
Finally, Sergio M. is going to good use.
(Also note: this taper went and split both "Satisfaction" and "Like a Rolling Stone" across programs - proof he/she was a truly sensible 8-track listener)
And here I had always assumed the #longbox first came into prominence during the #CD era. Behold: longbox #8Track tapes!
Early #8Track cartridge tape of #TheVelvetUnderground's White Light/White Heat album, with the song "Sister Ray" given it's original demo title, "Searching" (as in: "I'm searching for my mainline")
Unused labels from long gone - or possibly never materialised? - bootleg #GratefulDead #8track cartridges. Now I'm wondering if there was a live GD 8-track trading underground that paralleled their early cassette trading scene . . .
