Remember 8 Track Tapes?

[UnSafe]

I had a '67 Camaro with a hot rodded 350 small block motor. Perfect car for a bleary eyed 17 yr old kid.
I built a particle board under dash console for an 8 track deck and equalizer/ amp. Upholstered with black Naugahyde, it looked as cool as it sounded. Wore out Nazareth's Hair of the dog in that one.

Still have the factory cassette player in my F350, but it does nothing more than eat tape.

Wore out Nazareth's Hair of the dog in that one.

What a great album! "Now you're messing with a ...." Love that song, along with "Love Hurts" and "Changing Times." Brings back some good memories.

The real question is did anyone ever own any of those reel to reels?

Yup still have a pioneer, and it still works. I have a ton of music on those reels.

There was an under the dash record player too. I never actually owned/saw on, but I saw the ads.

Anyone remember those smaller versions of the 8-track called cassettes ? Ahhhh, the good ol' days.

I have a '96 Cougar i bought new that has a factory cassette. My grandson found the cassette carrying case (64 tape version I think) in the garage and asked what they were. We jammed out to Against the Wind the rest of the day.

There was also a 2 track version, it was about the size of a cassette but was built like an 8 track. i had one and had like 3 tapes, the only one I remember is Wooly Booly, by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs.

And a really, really, really long time ago, people sat around and sang.
