Of course, the fact that nobody collects 8-Tracks (which isn’t a fact at all, but it’s a generalization you often encounter) doesn’t mean these rarities are simply sitting around the junk store, waiting for you to buy them.
#8TRACKS SOMETHING FROM LISTEN LATER HOW MOVIE#
Quadraphonic 8-Tracks for such sonic gems as Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn,” Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” and five titles from sundry ex-Beatles: John Lennon’s “Imagine” (Lennon himself supervised the quad remixing of the title track) and “Walls and Bridges” Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Band on the Run” and “Venus and Mars,” plus the “Live and Let Die” movie soundtrack and Ringo Starr’s “Goodnight Vienna.” Which set the pulse racing because, of the latter, “Imagine” alone was granted a vinyl quad release, and that was in Europe only. In 1974, the same label forgot to tell the same factory that they’d canceled the release of Alan Price’s “Savaloy Dip.” And so, once again, the 8-Tracks hit the shelves while the LPs hit the recycling pile, and don’t you feel sorry for all the Alan Price fans who saw the tape on the shelves on the day of release, but ignored it because they wanted the album?No, I didn’t think you would. It’s not the only time that happened, either. Except nobody told the shippers at tape-maker Ampex’s Illinois plant, which means the 8-Track was already on its way to the stores, and in some cases flying out of them, before Reprise could issue the recall. But did you know that the release was cancelled, and didn’t even make it to the stores? It’s the follow-up to their first collaboration Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim, this time titled with their surnames alone. Over there, the Frank Sinatra with Antonio Carlos Jobim cartridge. They are working on integrating into Alexa so that listeners can tell Amazon Echo what they want to listen to using 8tracks user-created tags, like: Alexa, play me happy shower music with Journey and Michael Jackson.”Ĩtracks are also getting ready to earn some funding through crowdfunder WeFunder to directly support and promote their growth and introduce new integrations and features.Put aside all those easy listening tapes… except for one. In his release statement Porter also goes on to discuss what else is round the corner for 8tracks. Even with the rapid advance of technology, this path is no less true today than it was 30 years ago.” Porter also said: “Radio has always been the way people discover music – listeners get turned onto new artists they come to love and then buy their music to tune in whenever they want. Once linked they will automatically create the ‘8tracks discoveries’ playlist where any songs you star on the app will be sent. Saving songs to 8tracks discoveries is as simple as opening the 8tracks mobile app then tap the star on the bottom right to get a prompt to connect your Spotify account. We complement the algorithmic playlisting on Spotify with a curated touch that spans every imaginable style, for any time and place.” On 8tracks, nearly 1m DJs actively curate playlists, introducing more listeners to both familiar and lesser-known, independent artists. But the trick is finding the stuff that’s just right for you. When you’re listening to a stream on 8tracks and discover something you like you can now add it to your Spotify straight from the app into a playlist called ‘8tracks Discoveries’.Ĩtracks CEO and founder David Porter said: “Spotify offers the ultimate version of a record store, giving access to nearly every track ever recorded, anytime, anywhere. Internet radio service 8tracks have partnered with Spotify to integrate the two services. 8tracks have integrated with Spotify to keep the music you discover with you whenever you want to listen to it.
