Mid 70s to mid 80s were the worst years ever for US auto quality. Common sense says stop blaming others for our own shortcomings. Set the example by leading, not whining. US cars are much better now, but still getting our asses kicked by industry arrogance and lack of innovation. -- To reply by email, remove the word "space" |

duty-honor-country wrote: Claims that they were dominant in the seventies and eighties. As I recall they were popular in the sixties and had died by the early seventies. He seems to have a lot in common with you, I can see why he is on your radar. A wacko full of misinformation. Salty well you're wrong there- 8-tracks were available in store until 1983, and available through mail order clubs until 1988-89 I did not make any comment on availability, I said that they were "popular" in the sixties and that popularity had died by the early seventies. I don't think the popularity of 8-track died by the early 70s. I'd put it at the mid-70s. I had a 1973 (purchased in mid-1973)Chevvy Nova with an 8-track player, and kept it for about three years. I had no trouble buying 8-tracks while I had the car. You can quibble on "the most popular" form of recorded delivery, but 8-tracks hung in longer than you give them credit as a popular system. Read it a again. You are so obsessive in your defence of technology that was old and tired by the early seventies that you don't seem to notice the difference between available and popular. You could still buy B&W televisions in those days too. Are you going to tell that they were popular simply because they were available? Colour was popular, B&W was what you accepted if you couldn't afford colour. The same with eight tracks. I had in laws who owned a Hi-Fi business in the late seventies and certainly did not have any new model Eight Track *players* offered by distributors after the early seventies. The fact that the cartridges were continued for some time to service an existing market has little to do with popularity. I did not see them offered as standard in new cars after '71/'72, and I have always changed my car at least every two years. most people in the late-1970's still had 8-track players in their cars and homes as well Most People? Absolute garbage. By the early seventies car cassette and cassette radio combination players were common, not eight tracks. If you wanted to purchase a new car with an eight track you had to order it specifically. It wasn't a standard option as there was already enormous difficulty in finding new release songs on eight track. You had to "burn your own" for modern music. you either are too young to know better, or too old to remember clearly Neither. My very first new car (aged seventeen - graduation present) had an eight track, all subsequent cars had radio/cassette players. I was unhappy about the limitations of the eight track and replaced it with a car cassette player in 1970. It was a second hand Panasonic player taken from a three year old wreck. I was quite pleased with it. My last eight track was a combination unit built into an Akai reel to reel recorder. It didn't see much use. I still have it. Regards Salty -- Tony Cooper Orlando, FL |

Regards Salty domestic and foreign car mfrs. put 8-track decks in cars as factory equipment and dealer installed options, well into the early 1980's I am not saying that they didn't. I am saying that they were not a *standard* option. They had been superseded by Radio/Cassettes and they had to be ordered/requested. By the early eighties they were nearly impossible to find. They had an appeal to people who had invested money and time into collecting eight track music. Anyone who had no existing collection (and for many who had) a cassette offered more convenience and flexibility, particularly once a few advancements in head technology, Dolby etc,. made the smaller format outperform the larger older style heads, you're pretty sharp on tax law, but on the 8-track history is not accurate It is *absolutely* accurate. I have a (legal) music collection that exceeds three thousand albums. I have strong associations with two prominent '70's rock groups, and a lifelong enthusiasm and appreciation for music. I know what was available, I know what was popular (the area where you seem to be lost) and I know what was not. at our local high school here during 1975-80, nearly ALL the kids drove cars with 8-track decks in them- cassette was considered somewhat of a joke- Our experiences differ. In my college days, a person with an eight track in a late seventies car was considered old fashioned or blue collar/trailer trash. Not sure why. Maybe because they were more common in Pickups and Muscle cars. Maybe because as the supply of new eight track albums dwindled, the few readily available seemed to focus on R&B, country/bluegrass and old Rock&Roll, not contemporary music. Pickups and Muscle cars certainly were around, but they weren't the "norm". Like it or not, the norm with regard to music in the seventies was disco. Try to find concurrent popular label disco releases on eight track during the seventies. It was pretty much Cassette and Vinyl LP. Not many cartridges in the music stores. 8-tracks still outsold cassettes by a far margin until 1983 Not so, not even close. By 1983 CDs were in play, cassettes were approaching Vinyl sales and eight tracks were museum pieces. They had stopped making the players several years earlier. There were no new model/technology releases with players after 1975, and by that time they were all Asian manufacture. Between 1979 and 1983 all of the major labels had officially declared eight track formats no longer supported. They had been dying for years, they didn't stop supporting them because they were popular, they stopped supporting them because they were more expensive, less reliable and not as popular as cassettes. Regards Salty I did the biggest Musical Event Stunt in 70s Music, I'm the only one credited with recording the mighty 1974 CALIFORNIA JAM Mega-Concert. No offense, but if I were you I wouldn't brag about having 3,000 record albums. Due to my *other* musical Nuclear Warrior, all Rock and Roll is invalid now. Except for my World Exclusive on the California Jam and what I did there. I am the only one who matters in Music and Film. californiajam.com nuclearwarrior.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

BEWARE DESERTBOB-USENET AND EBAY TROLL BANNED FOR AUCTION INTERFERENCE
"duty-honor-country" wrote in message
oups.com... DESERTBOB (not its real name) is a troll. It regularly frequents at least twenty news groups, including many rabid/sex/racist/liberal idiot/wannabee mechanic groups. Normally, it starts off with reasonable, even witty lines, but rapidly drifts into lies, abuse and stupidity. Check its details at Google Groups at this URL: http://groups.google.com/groups/prof...Te82ZIng&hl=en See it's pathetic picture and myspace page at this URL- as it searches for companionship at age 50- looks like a quart of oil for the car in that hair... http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...did=303 21125 It had 2 Ebay usernames, both banned due to abuse, auction interference, and harassment- they were VOXPOPPER and XCALIBER44- see them here- search history of VOXPOPPER to see how it left (8) negative feedbacks for a seller, for items that cost only a penny each ! http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...erid=voxpopper http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...rid=xcaliber44 It is a sad creature, deserving of pity, not anger. Any direct response simply feeds it, but it will go away if you ignore it. You're just a retarded boy, "NOODLES" -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

everybody check their emai- DeserTBob the rat
On 21 Feb 2007 09:22:29 -0800, "duty-honor-country" aka Charles M.
Nudo, Jr., Drums, PA, aka 66-catalina aka 66fourdoor whined: 10-4 good buddy, SS DoucheBob sinking.... Why do you come back from psychiatric rehab, and then immediately go back onto Usenet to show the world how mentally ill you are? By the way, that little fabrication you told about me being a "phone guy" was hilarious. You simply like to make your reality up as you go along, don't you? Most paranoid delusionals do that. Hey Noodles! Was Papa Nudo mentally ill as well? Did he beat you a lot? Looks like someone should've chlorinated the Nudo gene pool back in Italy before it became a problem. |

why Charlie Nudo is so bitter-Ebay axed 3 of his accounts for fraud/shill bidding/misc infractions- he's insane
EBay accounts:
coolsitesnsounds quad-dubber 66fourdoor All trace back to: Charles M. Nudo, Jr. Drums, PA So, to deflect scrutiny on himself, he goes and posts two accounts that HE had killed for trumped up "transaction interference" reasons...typical of fleaBay to back up a fraudster/petty crook like this one. The record tells it all. Take time to research, or shut up about it. |
