This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Another of our childhood greats gone. In my mind its hard to remember that all these artest I grew up with are a bit older than I am. Course I sometimes forget Im as old as I am. Time marches on.

    Rumors came out around 1977ish? Didn't think they still made 8 tracks at that time.
    I actually bought the Rumors album twice as I lent the first one out and was never returned and bought another.
    I wasn't much of a record collector, maby had 10 records and 5 albums only. Lots of cassettes though.. Just goes to show just how much I loved Fleetwood Mac.

    8 tracks were definitely around in the late 70’s. I bought my first 8 track tape player in 1976.

    8 tracks in 1977 oh yeah I had a holder that had about 10 of them at least I think I had 20 then, and me and my buddy would go out at lunch smoke a big fatty and listen to music for an hr. Best days! I also had a Quad 8 track player at the time too, had about 6 quad 8 tracks. I still have a couple of them somewhere, Dark Side of the Moon was great, The beginning of money would go around all 4 speakers. Riders on the storm would echo in the back and sing out the fronts.

    The real stereos were made back in the day!! Dual, Bose, B&O. Marantz, plus a lot of others I almost bought a Marantz Quad stereo back in 1976 but I did not like the colored lights and had to have that dark green lights for the radio tuner. So no Quad Receiver went with 2 speaker.
    Spell check doesn't even know what a Marantz is, it wants to call it Manta. dumb arsses. lol
