Isn't that beautiful? To me, it's almost like porn. Don't get jealous, the 8 tracks in the picture on the left are mine. Mine! I've never been so happy!A month or so ago, I decided to further explore this bit of analog science--like over a 1,500 albums didn't get me there enough. Still I remembered how 8 tracks sounded different and often better than their vinyl counterpart. Believe it or not, I'm still single.

Stevie Wonder!!! Anything by him and MJ's "Off the Wall" were awesome back in the day. That was, in my opinion, Jacko's last release before he was abducted by aliens and replaced with a duplicate from the planet Kidluv.
Question: Saturday Night Fever...was this all on one 8-track? Two?
That's awful Steve LOL. Very true about those guys. "Off the Wall" is such a vinyl effort for me but as an 8 track, it worked too.
The SNF is all on one 8 track. It's a Canadian edition on RSO of course, when it was distributed by Polydor. The studio version of "Jive Talkin'" sounds especially nice...
