Good old 8 tracks - those things could take a pounding.
Bat Outta Hell was a favorite not only because of Meat’s uniquely powerful voice, but the musicians on it were from band favorites of mine at the time.
I got Todd Rundgren's autograph on my Bat Out Of Hell vinyl album.
When my mom passed a couple years back my Panasonic 8 track/AM/FM Stereo 10watt/channel with Thrusters Speakers was still in the basement.
The shoe box on top was full of 8 track tapes including Meatloaf.
I plugged in the stereo to show my son. The radio still worked. But the 8 track just made a humming sound.
The stereo now sits on the bench in my garage. The speakers are mounted on the garage walls. Long live rock.
