Man does that bring back memories! I only had two 8-tracks: Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Heart's Dreamboat Annie. Arguably the most popular track on that Heart album was Crazy On You and, right in the middle, it changes track! ?
I ditched the 8-tracks and never looked back. I had well over 2,000 records when CD's came out and, after testing each against a really nice system, the records sounded so bad in comparison that they all got sold.
