8-tracks

My favorite 8-track memories are:

1) On Passion Play, Ian is narrating "The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles", and he says "A Bee", and then click, the track switches, and again he says "A Bee". That kept me busy for a month and a half in high school.
2) The silence that gets put on the end of tracks to balance it out. Zeppelin was famous for that.

I clicked the Gold Top link, and the first thing I see is an ad for a Britny Fox CD! I'm suffering from Big Hair!

And thanks clactdj and Tommy, you guys are as usual, an encyclopedia of information. I had forgotten about that delicious little solo.

A item that always confused me was that goofy little 45-second piano/vocal ditty at the end of Sabbath's "Sabotage". You need to turn the volume almost all the way up, and it's right after "The Writ" fades out. It's on the album and the 8-track, but I don't think it's on the CD. Was that Ozzy or Bill Ward really drunk? They keep repeating the phrase "Blow On The Jug".
