Good 8-Track Karma

I musta done something right. Yesterday one guy I met on the 8trackheaven group, my home away from home, sent me a free 1975 Schwann catalog. Thanks, Larry!

Another guy, Chauncey, who is 16, I think, emailed me a while back that he was collecting 8-tracks. He asked if I could send him any I didn't need. Wanting to encourage such healthy pastimes in today's youth, I sent him a big box of tapes. Yesterday (after not hearing from him for several months, even for a thank you!) he sent me back the box, full of tapes he found that he didn't want. Mostly easy-listening, but as anyone who reads this blog knows, I'll eat anything. There was one Billie Holiday cart I didn't have and a Tommy Garrett and the 50 Guitars.

Then today, Norman brought me some 8-tracks at work. Mostly Beatles, mostly bootlegs, but still cool. I gave him $10 for these:
-The Beach Boys - Wow! Great Concert - Pickwick P8-1148
-The Beatles - A Collection of Beatles Oldies - Alpine Bootleg w/flower design
-Cher - Sound Values bootleg w/weird medieval wood-cut art. Musta been free clip art.
-John Lennon - Mind Games - British EMI 8X-PCS Cover pic is black and white and song order is completely different than my US Apple cart.
-Simon and Garfunkel - Best of - Alpine bootleg w/gold foil and funky 70s geometric shape design and two tone shell. Front is red, back is white.
-Three Dog Night - Golden Greats of - Pickwick P8-3664 Nice cover pic.
-Various Artists - Blockbuster - K-tel (Fly, Robin, Fly; Chevy Van; War, etc.)
-Various Artists - Rock Hits Vol. 31 Bootleg with the shady sounding company name "After Dark Entertainment ". May be recorded over. Hand-written "misc. shit".

2 are from an outift called Zodiac. These are " made in the style of your favorite artists by our sound-alike artists and musicians". One is all Beatles' solo work covers. The other is Rock Hits Vol. 30 w/Bungle in the Jungle.

Also got a head cleaner and 4 homemeade tapes. One is Sargent Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, another is Fiddler on the Roof. 2 are unlabeled. Blank?

Good score. Send out 8-tracks into the world and 8-tracks will return to you.
