Neil Young--- Heart of Gold 8 track... I'm having trouble finding good music to play on 8 tracks




When I was a kid, my uncle in Wilkes-Barre PA (near Harvey's Lake)had an all purpose, gas station, hunting-fishing store that I worked at in the summer. He sold a little bit of everything, including boot-leg 8-track tapes. These had a generic cover of some psychedelic, groovy people with the name of the album/track on the back. They sounded OK to me and he gave me the pick of what I wanted on each delivery. About every month or so, the PA State Police would show up and confiscate all the tapes (after buying some ammo/fishing supplies/b-sing with my Uncle). That night, on the way home we stopped a bar named "Jigger Jones" where a guy in a pick up gave him a re-up. My parents were pretty straight-laced and never new this stuff went on at this gas station........

Wish I still had some of those 8-tracks.
