Finally some 8-tracks came from ebay! Hooray! I bought 33 on one lot for 15.50+shipping. These are the ones that lured me into bidding: Sesame Street Gold! The best of Sesame Street - 2 LPs on one 8-track and Tommy Tutone - 2 with 867-5309 on it. Remember that one? "Jenny I got your number. I'm gonna make you mine..." Also, in the picture I could see some things I thought might be good.

So I didn't really know what I was getting. I love to get mystery tapes in the mail. It was mostly junk. I like these ones though: Ray Coniff - 's marvelous; The Stereophonic Sound of Stan Kenton; Don Ho "Live" (sic) at the Polynesian Palace; Sea Level - Cats on the Coast, Ronnie Laws - Pressure Sensitive; Grand Funk Railroad - Good Singin' Good Playin'; Deodato 2; Volunteer Jam featuring the Charlie Daniels Band, the Marshall Tucker Band and Dickey Betts; Orleans - Forever; and just because I love Cnristmas music, Christmas with Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass in it's original RCA sleeve too.

There were also nine that I already have: Roberta Flack - Chapter Two; Rex Smith - Sooner or Later; Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. - The Two of Us; Burt Bacharach - Reach Out; Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge; Tom Jones' - Greatest Hits; Sly and the Family Stone - Greatest Hits; Elvin Bishop - Raisin' Hell (try not to picture the California Raisins in hell); Maureen McGovern - The Morning after and the Heart-Touching Magic of Jim Nabors.

These are the ones I'm not very excited about but at least I don't have them yet: Roger Williams - Self-Titled; Henry Mancini - Theme from Love Story; Nancy Wilson - Broadway-My Way and Who CanI Turn To; and The Cole Porter Songbook played by the 101 Strings.

These are the ones I've never heard of: Margo Smith - Song Bird; Johnny Bush - The Sound of Heartache ( says Vivid Country Sounds on it);and Liz Damon's - Oriental Express. Also I got a bootleg of DebbyBoone - You Light Up My Life with a nice cover design and a tape with no front or back label, just a typed sticker on the end that says Barry Manilow - Greatest Hits. Are you counting? That's 32. The last one has a melted, gooky pinch roller. It is the original soundtrack to the Minx featuring Cyrkle. Guess I missed that one! So that's the lot. Now I'm going to read up on them and listen to them. I finally finished listening to both the Rare Earth albums I got yesterday. They're good. Can't trust music critics.
