@mrowster@linernotes.club @obsoletemediauk@mastodon.world Oh my goodness, I remember these! They were even used for Compact Cassettes occasionally, but they disappeared by the point that the last of the 8-Tracks vanished. I had forgotten this until now.

@mrowster@linernotes.club OMG, I've never seen an 8-track in packaging or for sale in a retail setting.
