So when are 8-tracks coming back into stores?

[Deja Q]

Went to a big box store today, let's call it "Worst Purchase" to shield the name, and they have tons of records. Compilations of classic rock and even a few from modern artists and new albums.

So that's why more and more CD cases are now cardboard! All the oil used for their cases went to making a couple of big-ass black discs circa 1975 again. I especially love the albums where the group sings against capitalism and/or materialism and they have it on CD and record?

:P

:rofl:


Just jivin'. Records do have a feel CDs sorta lack. Pity no digital technology could synthesize that...

1. 8-tracks are too high-tech.

You must find a wire recorder instead :D

3. When they do, I will be ready.

The house I am currently staying in has an 8-track player in the basement. It belonged to the late homeowner.

There's a Sony Betamax, too!

4. My mom still has her reel to reel

and her tape diaries when she was a nurse from Vietnam. I don't think I want to listen to those.

5. I thought vinyl was making a comeback of sorts...

EMI sold off their record making plant some years ago due to low profits and growth: the new owners now can't crank out enough records.

Plus now they make vinyl CDs - plays as a CD on one side, and can be played on a turntable on the other...

Also even dance and techno DJs use vinyl.
