I've gotten back into vinyl and just got the Muscle Shoals Small Town Big Sound album,... good stuff. 

8 tracks were hard to give up for me. I had a lot invested in them. About $500 dollars worth for a high school kid. I had them in suitcases designed for them and had to keep 2-3 of them in the trunk. I can hear songs today and where there was a skip from track 2 to 3,... I still hear that now,... 

I still think the big draw of 8-Tracks was that you didn't have to pull them out and reverse them like you did the cassettes plus the quality was supposed to be better with the larger tape surface.  I never bought into them though.  I do still have a Fisher brand stereo receiver that has an 8-Track slot inside it.  No 8-Track tapes to take advantage of it though.  I'll have to dig it out and put it on one of the local sale sites.
