Rare Pink Floyd Animals 8-Track Question
I`ve been collecting 8-Tracks now for 15 years. I probably have about 600.
My favorite band is Pink Floyd. I decided to find or try and find all there albums on 8-Track. So I got Relics, Atom Heart Mother, Ummagumma, More, Obscured By Clouds, Meddle, Dark Side Of The Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here, David Gilmour (self titled from his 1978 solo release) and last but not least, Animals. The question I have is that this Animals 8-Track is very different. All the Animals 8-Tracks I see look like the album that features the buildings on the cover. This Animals 8-Track has a picture of Snowy White on the cover playing a guitar. The back just says Pink Floyd Animals, and the songs listed on each program (including the full length version of Pigs On The Wing.) There is no record company name on it. Is this an import?? It can`t be a bootleg because the songs are exactly the same as the regular Animals 8-Track recordings. Anyone ever herd of this tape? I love the !!!!!!!8-TRACKS!!!!!! ....mfat |

The Pink Floyd "Animals" 8-track in question is a pirate, I saw a
picture of it. That's not Snowy White on the cover, it's just a "rock" dude playing guitar. Sorry to disappoint! You can see "Snowy" on the cover of this John Denver bootleg as well: http://www.8trackheaven.com/Images/johndenverboot.jpg Daniel & Kathy Gibson wrote in message ...

By any chance does it look homemade? Back in the early seventies there were places that would "cutom make 8-tracks for you. I have several that are "professional" in the sense that someone was paid to make them, but they are not true boots or pirated copies as they are "custom" made to a customers specifications. PErhaps this was custome made from the commercial cart? Hace you heard the English import DSOTM quad? Unbelievable! A must have. Danno |

Yes your absolutely correct! That is what is on the cover of this Pink Floyd Animals 8-Track. Your right on the money. Who and what purpose is this? I know a bootleg, but the recordings are the exact same. Who would put it out, and is this a U.S.A. release?? ....mfat "8-track Not Crack" wrote in message om...

From: "Mfatoldsun" Yes your absolutely correct! That is what is on the cover of this Pink Floyd Animals 8-Track. Your right on the money. Who and what purpose is this? I know a bootleg, but the recordings are the exact same. Who would put it out, and is this a U.S.A. release?? ...mfat I would call a recording like this a "pirate" recording. It is a recording that is made illeagally (sp?) in large quantities for profit. Proper "bootlegs" are clandestine recordings usually made by individuals for their own personal non-profit use. The people who would create pirate recordings usually keep their identities private since civil authorities would probably arrest them. I'm not sure of the country of origin. It sounds like a pretty neat cart! later, ron |

Jesus, I never new the correct word for copied copywrited material. I
assumed "bootleg" was the proper term. So yes, I would say that this 8-Track is a "Pirate" recording of the original. It actually sounds good. Crisp stereo recording. Infact, "Pigs On The Wing" sounds better than on the ROIO Floyd CD`s I have. For an 8-Track, is sounds like a really good cassette tape. Thanks for the info! ....mfat "DOGGIE104" wrote in message ...

mfat,
Don't sweat the terms. The words "boot" and "bootleg" are used by most 8-trackers to describe pirate tapes. I believe that it is actually the preferred term. Later!
