yep member many family members in my youth getting pissed off and throwing them out the window.
yep member many family members in my youth getting pissed off and throwing them out the window. especially when they would break in the middle of the song but this is very cool less than 7 Minutes in The amazing history of how we listen to our music in the car that really starts with the 8-track in 60s and it's progressed on all the way to our mp3s and everything else enjoy☺️🚗🎶😕🎶?😠🚮😂
although in hindsight it is very cool to find out who pioneered it🛩️

It was that clack,clack when they would switch tracks (in the middle of a song!) that really endeared them... ;p
ReplyDeleteBrian Christian 😂yep.
ReplyDeleteEspecially a good song that clocked in at about 7 to 12 minutes like a Pink Floyd or something ended up having to tracks to I always used to like that one eight minutes song broken down at the end of one track and then continuing on the rest part 1 part 2 and it's like 🤔it's not like that on the album🤣 out in the middle of it it would just change over tracks good times good times man
Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist That they were. I was thinking of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed ...gaaah!
ReplyDelete...and now you've gone and done it.
ReplyDeleteforthcoming...
Allman Brothers "Whipping Post" right after "the climb"...song fades out, the big CLICK, and the song fades back in. Seriously, could they have picked a worse place??
ReplyDeleteMike Srok Yep.. no doubt about it for sure..it was just amazing though that classic click and the fade out and then the fade back in😂😂
ReplyDeleteBrian Christian yep there's another classic one right there are some good live at the Fillmore Tracks itself out splits itself into two different tracks for one song😂
ReplyDeleteWhen we got a new station-wagon, it came factory installed tube fired, with a 45 RPM phonograph, auto ochangeing turntable! (Ca. '50s - ''60s.)
ReplyDeleteYou could load up a stack of '45s, and play them as you wished (after the tubs warmed up). Well, as long as you did not drive over a railroad crossing or any rough pavement. And, there was a pile of fine black venal powder that accumulated at the floor of the player. It apparently kept the equivalent of a 'silver dollar' taped to the tone arm, to minimize skipping.
The result was replacing 45s in very short order, and waiting for 'smooth sailing' before risking your records...
About the time 8-Tracks came out, at a time they were working at a AM radio stations as licensed engineers and DJs. These "Carts" were gaining popularity at stations, but they also performed less than 'seller' when in a moving auto. For a variety of technical reasons, we decided to pass on 8-Tracks for autos entirely.
After being talked into audio cassettes, for auto music, we experienced reliability issues, of course. Ironically, it was I, who was the first, in the family to adopt CD Discs. Which, though far from perfect, were the first time that listening to your own music was not a problematical gamble... ;-)

Thanks for this one! I would have died to have a player in my first car but the only thing to do was listen to am radio, usually WLS in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami Great addition to our comments!
ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami awesome very cool.yeah that's the neat thing people thought it was just a record that you played at home and brought out to the car but now they were specially made for automobile players and they did not last very long..but of course it really wasn't a problem cuz nobody really bought Long play rock and roll albums until the Beatles came around about 1965 and artists were creating great pieces of music most of the time by the time the car player singles wore out it was time for the next new thing...🙂
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy yes indeed the big 89 powerhouse..😎
ReplyDeleteglad you enjoyed the little 10 minute clip there I thought it was pretty cool.
still amazing to think it was a airline mogul who did it mr. Lear
Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist Yes, that struck me too that Lear started it all, but it made perfect sense.
