Well, it's been awhile, but I recall a friend having it on 8 track. Late 60's, IRRC.

Interesting; the west track seems to head up I-49 to US 71 and then follows old route 66. Hmmm.

The tracks don't usually cluster that tightly, do they?

Eek.

So did we, several years ago, LSA wanted to get another record player, heck, we gots lots of records. Actually was kinda hard to find, since we weren't looking for 'audiophile' quality. We just wanted to play some records.

I finally gave up and got rid of mine. I still have a crate full of albums. Not sure what I'll ever do with 'em.
