I'm not sure about quality in the absolute sense, but there's a nice quality to each format depending on my mood. Today I was listening to old stuff in the mono 8 track player..brings back such good, albeit spartanesque aural memories. I will note that the Rickenbacker was made for 8 track systems!

I'm embarrassed to say about 6 copies. Over the years i'd misplace cds and then go buy another one. Two of the copies are on 8 track (blue and dark grey cartridge colors). One lp in the Anthem Canadian label.... You can get any version of ATWAS on eBay for very little. What format do you want it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I miss my 8-track player...... It was sooooo cool.....at the time..... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hamidk/8trax2.jpg 1. What's the meaning of life? - The meaning is exactly what you want it to be. 2. How much is that doggie in the window? - Get your hands of my bobblehead daschund, and get out of my car!! 3. Define the universe - give three examples. Ptolemaic Model - It's all a bunch of nested spheres. Steady State Model - It all comes and goes at the same time. Douglas Adams Model - It's all a big mistake. We Apologize for The Inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flybyknight Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I liked ATWAS when I first heard it, many moons ago, although as I listened to it over and over I always tried to EQ the bass end as the bass drum and the bass guitar sounded somewhat lost under the roar of the guitar. When Different Stages was released with Hammersmith show on I realized how good ATWAS could have really been. discovering soundboard bootlegs also took me further away from ATWAS. Unless 8 track can remedy the bottom end problem, which I doubt, I am looking forward to the 5.1 releases, if ever they surface..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 You know, there are songs that come on the radio that I expect to hear a break in because of that head switch-over thing. Not going to say that I miss the 8 track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to say that I miss the 8 track. I anticipate the track changes too, at least subconsciously! As a matter of fact, I would like to figure out how to add them to the digital recordings of my earlier stuff to really give another layer of authenticity, personally speaking.. anyone know how I might do this?

Absolutely, still blows my mind too. I spun some Purple earlier today and some Jeff Beck. There is something about vinyl that I just love. Can't imagine what is next after digital. Probably something internal and Orwellian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
