Do you remember 4 tracks? 

 

 

No. Don't remember ever hearing the term 4 track. 

 

I'm fortunate enough to have missed out on the 8 tracks. I remember listening to an 8 track in someone's car and a song fading out, a clicking sound as the track changed and the same song fading back up and thinking....WTF!?!? But at that point cassettes were around (maybe not in cars yet?) so I guess that's akin to so many WTF moments my kids have with me.

I think I played a Boston 8 track tape about 1000 times

 

 

In the early 90s, my friend bought a 1976 Monte Carlo that had an in-dash 8-track player (still worked).  There were a couple 8-tracks in the glove compartment and one of them was Boston, LOL.

Ah, the good ol' days when the more knobs, switches, levers you had on your boom box, the cooler you were, even if they really didn't do anything.

I got Megadeth “Rust in Peace” and a smaller one that could detach speakers and I’d do my homework in stereo with “Holy Wars” shredding across. That song still resonates. My brother was really hard on his tapes, used to bug me that he’d put the wrong tape back. I’d not complain as he bad his mates, older, would let me copy their albums. I still have all mine, took pride in trying to write the bands name in same font they used, metal bands has same great calligraphy... And they work.  

I got the original for the Judas Priest “Live” album awhile back, I forget now, but one of the tracks wouldn’t fit on the cassette, it was a double album, it just ended with the tape and I thought that was how it always ended...

Rust in Peace had many many rotations in my early years. Such a great album.
