On topic, I just took an online quiz, and it stated that FM Greatest Hits is widely considered to be the LAST 8-track ever produced.

I usually cling to formats like Stevie and Mick to a coke straw.... it's hard to believe that Bella Donna was MY last 8- track, 7 years earlier. I guess I was tired of fighting the player in my car, shoving shims in with the tape, to get the high end.

I gave it to my mom as a birthday gift and then took it back!

I guess my gift was a Mirage. As it said, "Hold Me!"

I remember Zayres. They were a bit wild. I got a bike there once. They would let the kids ride the bikes in the store. For some reason they were more exciting to go to than other department stores. Maybe it was just ours though.

I grew up near one. They had Mirage displayed at every cash register lane, like Hershey's with almonds.

I hated tape, with the exception of recording (using my tape recorder).

But, the first White album cassette I purchased, sounded so good in my Sanyo walkman!! But, after a few plays it started to wear. Those things were rough.

I worked at a grocery store in high school, and we had these little flat box cutters(with a razor blade in it). I always had to shove the cutter into the player in my car, beneath the 8-track, to get the treble to come in.

Finding good sound quality in cassettes was like wining the lottery. My Tango cassette sounded very very good. But the Rumours/White two in one, and the Tusk cassette were just fine. I bought them in 1988, but I don't remember when they were released.



Most cassette albums sounded just fine or even not good enough. I didn't understand why, what was the logic. I remember when I recorded some Mirage songs from a friend's vinyl album, on his Technics stereo deck in 1982, to a TDK AD cassette, it sounded really really high quality. So I don't know why most purchased cassette albums didn't sound high quality.
