CubbiefanMike Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 My Raspberries Tape may it rest in peace. Maxell High Bias tape 100 minutes was made in 1994 and died today.. got all crumpled up in middle of tape. It had over a thousand plays so not a bad lifespan. My tape deck will not be blastin till I make a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubbiefanMike Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yeah I need to get a cd player in the car... have a portable one that hooks up but with these Chicago winters it may not hold up. Tapes recordings of cds sound nearly as good if you have a good stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Probably less likely to have a cassette player and collection stolen from your car too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I bought a CD recorder very early on, and couldn't wait to convert my tapes. One problem! I had recorded so many 90 minutes tapes that I didn't know which songs to cut out od my CD's. I remember a friend of mine who loved the Alice Cooper tape that I made him. He wanted me to convert it to Cd, not knowing that about 15 minutes (74 minute cd's at that time) would have to be cut. He could never decide which songs to cut, so I never made the CD for him,.

darlene Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ahhh. Sad story, Craig. You're so thoughtful. I hope you make a new tape soon, CubfanMike. Every tape deck deserves to blast Raspberries! I even still have my old 8-track of Starting Over. --DarleneP.S. Hello, Bushman!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Oooh Oooh Oooh, Tell us more 8-track stories!...Did you have an 8-track player in your covered wagon when you started the first settlement in Jersey?... :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I still have my 8 tracks of Fresh and the first two Eric solo records. God, did I hate those fade outs and fade ins! "No Hard Feelings" comes to mind.Producers and artists spend hour after hour deciding the right formula for what song should follow what song and then 8 tracks just throw them wherever they land, baby! If they don't fit, we'll cut 'em up and make 'em fit!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor4Life Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I still have an 8-track copy of "Side 3". Remeber the loud "ca-chunk" the player would make while changing tracks? To this day I still wait for the fadeout in the middle of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" by Billy Joel! LOLJeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie Mississippi Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I had both Starting Over and Raspberries Best on 8-track. I LOVED the way they expanded Ecstacy to fit the track! It was basically a double run of the instrumental at the end, if I recall correctly, ain't heard an 8 in many, many moons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
