The WHO, live at Leeds.
I used to work at a gas station. Every week a guy would drive up in his car and open the trunk. It was filled with bootleg 8 tracks, most were good enough quality, some not.
Back in the 60's and 70's sound quality in the car was not that important, VOLUME WAS!

I was younger when cassettes were on the way out so when I really got into buying music CDs were more of the thing so no real chance to wear out a cassette.

However, my brother and I wore out ET, Flight of the Navigator, and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (animated movie) VHS tapes.

I didn’t have an 8-track player, I did have an FM decoder (for lack of a better word), but I remember my best friends ‘62 Bel Air bubble top with an 8-track player and Led Zeppelin II. There was that part in “Whole Lotta Love” that started with the light tinging of a cymbal that rotated the sound around the car speakers…wow, memories.

I had and loved Styx’s Paradise Theatre in 8 track… until it went thunk in the middle of Snowblind. I swore to never buy another.

But I did wear out Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill on cassette.

I can't remember the 8 tracks I listened to over and over. But I do remember knowing where exactly on each one it would thunk to the next track in the middle of a song.

We listened to them on a set up my mom bought my dad from Radio Shack one Christmas, it had a turntable, tape deck, 8 track and a tuner. I thought it sounded pretty good until I was a bit older and plugged in a CD player, WOW! the difference

Guns 'n Roses: Appetite For Destruction

When I listen to it now and think back to 5th grade me singing along to Mr. Brownstone with my headphones on...I wonder how my parents seemed so oblivious to what I was singing about, admittedly I had no clue either. Stranger yet, my dad was a cop too and never said a word.



Hater of fun since 2001!
