I grew up with 8-track versions of 'Da Capo' and 'Four Sail.'
The 'Da Capo' tape was frustrating; it had a manufacturing defect which caused it to slow down in the middle of every track! The guy who sold it to me said it just needed to be wound tighter, but that wasn't the problem at all. I also adored the Blue Thumb 'Out Here' on tape for many years. I had the GRT cart with the gold/black squares slip case. Beautiful... |

I also adored the Blue Thumb 'Out Here' on tape for many years. I had the GRT cart with the gold/black squares slip case. Beautiful... snip GRTs were the kings of drag, due to their many more points of contact between tape and guides inside...the "K" wrap tape path. A good player with a fresh belt should handle them with ease if they're in good shape, but if you want to test a belt or motor on any deck...stick an early GRT into it. One good things about the "K" wrap tape path...there's enough back drag to where you don't really need pressure pads! I've also run into samples of GRT which had excessive back coating on the tape which would peel off all over everything inside. Their tape itself was less than impressive, also, but sounded about as good as anything else back in those days. dB |

No, it was the way it was recorded, I think, that caused the drag, not a
mechanical thing... And that tape was an early Ampex, not a GRT. I have the first 4 LP's on reel-to-reel, so they must have all been on 8-track. |

Love. Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version sucked, but was more
commercial. I have my doubts that the Earth Band covered My Little Red Book. The band was simply Manfred Mann when they cut MLRB with Paul Jones on vocals. Great vocalist, though I preferred the later vocals of Mike d'Abo. Some may be familiar with that name as his daughter played the sister on Wonder Years if memory serves. Manfred Mann were cool because they looked completely not like rock and rollers. That said, and being a Canadian and all, I like both band's versions. WWW |
