<<8 track tapes of Ted Nugent (fade out, clunk, fade in)... (Do any of you remember how the 8 track of Pink Floyd's "Animals" had that little extra instrumental bit on it that connected the closing and opening versions of "Pigs On the Wing"? Looping content, kinda...)>> I might only be 29, but I remember 8 tracks. We still have an 8 track that almost works. In addition to the "fade out clunk clunk fade in" aspect, they always rearranged the songs so that they'd fit on the four programs of the loop without anyone being too short. Frequently, they'd repeat a song, sometimes playing just the first verse and chorus or whatever and then fading out. And though I never owned Pink Floyd's Animals on 8-track, I do know that version of Pigs On The Wing you mention. It's been frequently bootlegged, and was eventually released legitimately on Snowy White's Goldtop compilation (that's Snowy playing the guitar solo, he says he went to Britannia Row studios, where the band was working on the album, to audition for the 2nd guitarist/bassist spot on their upcoming tour, and Roger Waters said something to the effect of "Since you're here, why don't we record something"). I don't remember my first single, but I think my first album (or at least the first real non-children's record my parents ever bought for me) was a cassette copy of Double Platinum by Kiss when I was 5. I had this rinky dink toy cassette player, I think it was a Bugs Bunny cassette player, anyway, I remember sitting in the dining room when we got home from Wal Mart, and I sat there listening to it for the first time. I also remember it was a two cassette set. I guess back then, they hadn't figured out how to make a double length tape or whatever so that they could have the only whole thing on one tape. I also remember trying to talk my parents into buying me a copy of Boston's Don't Look Back, which had probably just come out at the time, and I was immediately taken by the cover artwork. I think my dad, trying to avoid paying whatever a new LP would have cost back then, said somethin to the effect of "You won't like that". Ten years later, I was able to prove him wrong by buying my own copy of it. I got turned on to my music by my oldest brother when I was little. He used to listen to Kiss, Uriah Heep, Peter Frampton, BTO, that sorta stuff. And I don't care what anyone says, Billy Idol's Rebel Yell is a really good record. ===== May you never thirst!
