We Need To Get This Group Back On Track

Fellow 8-Track Enthusiasts (a.k.a. Trackers)

We need to get this particular group bak on track. This group is now becoming the haven for off topic posts that have nothing to do with 8-Track tapes or related stuff.

I have been seeing posts advertising both prescription drugs and marijuana. This group is supposed to be an 8-Track group and we need to start talking 8-Track's again. I have been scoring them lately at both AMVETTS and my local Salvation Army thrift store, which rarely gets them at their store. I scored a few on President's Day last week at an AMVETS store and they all play great without the splice breaking. I was happy to score these. Then again, I am always happy to score 8-Track's when I see them and if they are tapes I'm looking for, I grab them.

Again, we need to get this group back to what it's all about and that is 8-Track's. I hope to hear from y'all. I am also looking forward to talking with y'all in here.

Thanks.

you used to sell all kinds of stuff at high prices to back in the day but
feel free to try to get the group back on track for the most part both news
groups and google groups are gone by the by way

Actually Andy, I have never sold anything. I had always shared links to Ebay sellers pages for selling common 8-Track tapes for high prices or ask for too much for a record club issued 8-TracK. That is what I had done, but no selling.

Also, our exiled former resident troll, Charlie "Noodles" Nudo is back selling stuff on Ebay again that can be bought at junkyards and flea markets for cheap at extremely high prices. You should check out what he's selling now. If curious, here's the link to what he is selling:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sof...pg=50&_fosrp=1

I mean, really? Who does this guy thinks he's fooling?

I also meant that we should start talking shop about 8-Track tapes again or just music in general. such as our favorite music that we enjoy. We need to keep this group alive somehow and also, to try to ignore the SPAM that those using re-mailers and fake e-mail addresses are posting in here.

This is supposed to be an 8-Track tapes group.

By the way, I have been adding pages to Discogs. I have been adding 8-Tracks to particular album pages where the 8-Track tape of isn't a part of the particular albums page. Here is an example of what I have added to Discogs of an 8-Track that I have in my ever growing collection:

Again, hopefully, we can get this group lively again. I also wonder how Desert Bob has been doing. I hope that he is doing good.

Ta Ta For Now.

this and many other news groups are going the way of the dial up modem aka
history.
But with the new digital recording format 8 tracks will be back in time

There are a few newsgroups that are still going on with new messages being posted, only not with the same enthusiasm of the earlier days. Still, they sre still going.

As I said, we can get this group going on again. All we need to do is simply talk about 8-Track's again, such as fave ones, ones that were scored by going to thrift stores as I have scored some on President's Day at an AMVETS store and my local Salvation Army thrift store. 8-Track's do and still manage to pop up when least expected.

I have also been listening to some of my 8-Track's lately. I still love jamming to them. I have very diverse musical tastes as I simply don't listen to one music genre, but many genres. It also shows in many of the Discogs pages I've made for some of the 8-Track's that I have in my ever growing collection that didn't have the 8-Track of the album listed on a particular album's master page. I have added lots of them on there. I did share one example, but have done many others as well.

Also, I have been wondering how DesertBob has been doing? I am hoping that he is okay and doing well. I also hope that he posts a message in this thread soon letting us know how he is doing.

Ta Ta for bow.

How do we know you arnt bob? what is your first name and why not post up
some pictures of your tapes to get us started
