I wish I saved mines. I know people at work who still has 8 tracks at home. The last one I had and left in Pueto Rico was the one from the movie Grease. Do any of you still have any and which ones do you have?  |

Hey Cathy! Good day to you! Thanks for kicking off this category with a bang! I thought of this the other day and had Dawn add it! We never had any growing up. My uncle had some. By the time I got some, they were out. I inherited my step mother's along with her stereo. She had about 15, typical 70s lady music, but she did have the excellent Beach Boys Live in London 1969. Then I got a big box from a lady I worked with. I think we ended up giving both of those collections to my uncle who still had a player in his car! LMAO!! Then my in-laws gave me a HUGE box which I may have either sold or donated. The only one we have left is my wife's The Muppet Move from when she was a little kid.  |

Great topic, Cathy!
Yes, I've still got a few 8-tracks, and a stereo with a player. I used to have a lot more, but ended up having to throw them out because they had deteriorated so badly.
Among the titles I still have are Superstars of the 70's (a 2-cartridge set), Hit 45's of the 70's, Summer Jam '79, Heavy Metal (early 70's hard rock), and Jefferson Starship's Red Octopus.

That's a precious possesion, Dawn. Have you listened to them lately? |

It is a great idea. I am going to love hearing which music collectibles the members have. It is going to be very interesting. You should keep that Muppet one. I am sure it means a lot to her. |

That's a precious possesion, Dawn. Have you listened to them lately? It's been a little while - I think I last listened to them back in the summer of last year. I especially love that Superstars of the 70's set - there are many wonderful songs on it. I'm always on the lookout for 8-tracks at garage sales and such, but they're getting harder and harder to find. |

I'll be on the lookout from now on. |

8-tracks I fondly remember from childhood:
Three Dog Night-Hard Labor
John Denver-Farewell Andromeda
Moody Blues-Seventh Sojourn
Moody Blues-Days Of Future Passed
Dynomite (K-Tel album circa 1974)
Neil Diamond-Hot August Night
Steely Dan-Aja
The Guess Who-Road Food
Crosby Stills Nash & Young-So Far
Also, two by bands I've never heard of anywhere else, and would LOVE to find vinyl copies of:
Mama's Pride (Blusy rock band on Atco)
U.S. Radio Band-Don't touch That Dial (Had a hot dog on the cover, with mustard, relish and patriotic wrapping)

The first car I ever had had an 8 Track player in it. I also had an 8 track player on one of my first stereo systems, so I used to buy 8 tracks quite a bit years ago. Unfortunately, I no longer have a player, or any of my 8 tracks. I occasionally see some at garage sales and thrift stores, and I get kinda nostalgic when I look at them. Reminds me of my childhood.
