Great memories ... my first introduction to 10cc was via 8-track ... and good it was too ;D Title: Re: Anyone got an 8-track?

I was stuck in the passenger seat cos my walking boots would fit in the footwell but not move. One leg roasted, the other leg froze Title: Re: Anyone got an 8-track?

Good page about the critters on Wikipedia. Title: Re: Anyone got an 8-track? Post by: Mindwarper on September 28, 2007, 07:05:56 PM My friend swears that the pink floyd 8 track of animals had an estra intrumental song. Does anyone know if that is true. Surely, it would be added to the cd release if it were so. But I have heard that some 8 tracks had a few rarities.
Title: Re: Anyone got an 8-track? Post by: Neil on September 28, 2007, 07:09:36 PM The 8 track of Animals has an instrumental bridge between the two parts of pigs on the wing performed by Snowy White, you can get a copy of it on one of the Snowy White solos albums.

Title: Re: Anyone got an 8-track? Post by: davidmjs on October 01, 2007, 07:08:26 PM What was the sound like on an 8 track? Same as cassette i presume. Yes, but with the added 'bonus' of sound seepage from the other 'side'. Sounded good in my Uncle's posh Jag in the early 70's :) Title: Re: Anyone got an 8-track? Post by: Mindwarper on October 01, 2007, 07:42:51 PM So it is true. The imaginary live tracks sound interesting as well. Thanks for the info. I had doubted my friend, even though he swore it was true.
