Do you remember 4 tracks? They looked like eight tracks but held less music. They didn’t seem to get chewed up as often.
I don’t remember four tracks, but I’m old, and my memory isn’t what it used to be.
Waiting for someone to mention 4-tracks. My dad bought a brand new 1967 Mercury Cougar with the latest 4-track sound system, and he wasn’t too happy when 8-tracks took over within a year.
