I recall seeing pics but my teen yrs started in ‘67 and I’ve never seen one in person. America, Our Country and we’re taking it back. |

My geek friend at school told me to buy a cassette player for it. I had never even heard of one and didn’t know what it was. I bought an 8-track player instead thinking I knew better than him. I learned a valuable life lesson that day to always listen to someone who knows more than me on a given subject. That advice has never failed me to this day. |

It must have been in a different gear, as a 3-minute tune would run through in about 2 minutes. I had no idea the Supremes could sing that fast. |

Never thought of why they called it an 8 track when it only had four tracks? |
