Are you sure its not just a Cheap Trick?

Oh that ROCKS!

Nothing was better than the 8-track. Low Fi and that ever so special way the song fades out then the sudden hard "kerplunk" and the song fades back in to finish. Oh yeah, I breaking out the old stereo again. 78RPM, AM and FM with Stereophonic sound and my very special 8-Track recorder player.

Maybe it was more of a "kerchunck" than a "kerplunk"

There is an interesting documentary on lovers of 8-track tape:

http://www.amazon.com/Wrong-Theyre-Right-James-Burnette/dp/B0009ZE95I

You can buy or rent it on DVD. It is worth seeing. I recommend renting it (Netflix carries it, for example).

Rather interestingly, many of the comments made by lovers of 8-tracks are the same kinds of things LP lovers say. Watch the film and see what I mean.
