8 TRACK STATE OF MIND

Used to have a pretty pissed off 8 track collection complete with turntable/tuner/8 track console with flashing synchronized disco lights. That went ages ago in one of many legendary garage sales. I also had a unit that recorded and we would make fake Misfits 8 tracks.

We'd crank Blizzard Of Oz in the back of my dad's car. (Four door Caddy Eldo.) He was into Dolly Parton + Kenny Rogers... 

Combed the interwebs for a minute to find a few I had, knew of and bumped into some cool random ones. I pieced together the collage with my digital 'scores'. The Sinatra + Jobim 8 track went for $4500. Few crazy heinous examples here; Radio Birdman, Eno, Faust, Undertones...

 Check out the 8 track museum in Dallas, Texas.

Ah, the sound of the track changing... "KA-CHUNK"!

A lot of "CLASSY" baseball uniform selections in the 1970s... Double knit madness in full regalia ensued.

The Sox rocking shorts and collars (tight, right?)

 VECK AS IN WRECK! The infamous short set.
