Subject: Cheap Trick on 8-track - not a repeat from 1978

Written By: ChuckyG on 07/06/09 at 11:34 am

This month the boys of the Budokan release their new album, The Latest, not only in CD and vinyl, but in a long-departed format as fashionable as Tang, bell-bottoms and porn-star mustaches.

Yup, they're going to release an 8-track version of their latest album.  The price is supposed to be around $30, which at that price I doubt anyone will risk playing it and have it break in their 30 year old deck.

I'll be surprised if they release it in an Edison-style phonograph cylinder.  :P

Hell, I can get a copy of Budokan on 8-Track for 50c at a Flea Market.  Realistically though, what moron would pay $30 for any 8-Track tape? :D

the most expensive 8-track sale was I believe a copy of the Sex Pistol's Never Mind the Bollocks, which sold for $80...

my copy of Al Stewart's "Time Passages" I had signed back in March is my own priceless 8-track...
