Reminicing about that first Boston album, got me thinking about artists/albums that I have bought and enjoyed in 4 different formats: 8-track & LP & cassette & CD. Eagles Best of '71-74 was another. Anyone else been around long enough to have done this with a favorite that stood the test of time? |

I loved when the advent of CD technology came along and I didn't have to "flip" something half-way through the song
(except maybe my date). |

| I had the GCampbell "Live in New Jersey" concert on reel-to-reel, 8-track, and later it came out on Cassette, though hard to find. Great Concert. They should ask Mr.Campbell to re-release it on CD...I wonder who has the 'rights' to that concert now? |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Didn't want to lower the tone on the RIP thread so thought I'd share an old story here.
Brad Delp wakes up in a room all in white, full of top-of-the-line musical instruments. Billy Preston walks into the room and sits at the keyboards, George Harrison walks in and picks up a Sitar, Jaco Pastorius picks up the bass... and musicians continue to file in and pick up instruments.
Amazed, Brad mutters; "Wow! There is a Rock 'n' Roll Heaven!"
"Heaven?" Says Billy Preston.
Just then Karen Carpenter walks in, sits at the drums and speaks. "Okay everyone. Once more from the top. Close To You. One - Two - Three - four....." |

Location: NJ | Al;
Do you know if you might happen t'have Renaissance live at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic?? WNEW-FM up here broadcast it live, but I would imagine they had a sister staion down there outta Philly that might've carried it as well.
It was the last night of their tour before going back to England the next day, and was a GREAT show!! I was AT the show, and a friend of mine taped it (on cassette) off the radio for me, but the tape is long gone . . .
I'd LOVE t'be able to get another copy of that show. |

I have the same low regard for 'Boston', as I do for every other band named after a "city", that isn't followed by, '[city] Blues All Stars'
... whatever the recording medium. |

I've sold my reel to reel and my tapes.
I just have cd's, and in light of the ipod onslaught, the cd looks like it'll be extinct. |

Does, "Blues All Stars" appear anywhere whatsoever in 'Bay City Rollers'?... let-a-lone after "City"?...
...just furthers my point. |

Location: Paris/France | I've got an old Beatles "Sgt Pepper" tape from 1967 (Parlophone/EMI).
It's written on the cover: 3-3/4 I.P.S four track stereo tape record.
Do you know what kind of player is needed???

Location: Phoenix AZ | It's a standard reel to reel 3-3/4 speed. 4 track stereo means that there is 4 magnetic tracks on the tape. Two of them make up side 1 (stereo), then you flip it over and the other two tracks are the stereo of side 2. Dave |

8 track etc
