HUGE college dorm LP/8-track score !!
I just bought out a huge lot of LP's and 8-tracks from an Ohio college
dorm- this guy went to college there and also worked there part time as maintenance- obviously during the late 1980's-early 1990's 8-tracks and vinyl were still alive and well on college campus nationwide- he said the college lobby had a large am/fm/phono/8-track recorder console, and the kids would hang out there and play 8's and vinyl all day and night- I'd wager new CD's at $15-25 a piece were not within most college students' budget at the time some time in the 1990's the 8-fad started to die out, as CD's and DVD-A and MP3 became more affordable- he said all the vinyl and 8's were locked away in a storage room on campus. He ended up getting them all for free. The large console stereo, which he believed may have been a tube amped unit, was scrapped !! bummer !! he also became a collector himself, and had many 8 decks/recorders. In the last year I rec'd 6 decks, all his good LP's, and all his 8's as well. I rec'd approx. 300 tapes and 50 LP's earlier this year. I sold off all the decks except one, which is a very rare unit with both external head adjustment knob and large AC motor- a real find ! Rarely do you see those 2 options on the same player of this quality, except for the Electrophonic decks which have a hum problem. yesterday he just sent me 195 tapes and 135 LP's- the guy is moving and had to clear out his house- so 3 large boxes showed up USPS media mail some real keepers in this lot- lots of Zappa, some Ramones, Clash, Lou Reed/VU, one of those robot tapes, and one real oddity a sealed Captain Kangaroo tape ! There's also a benefit concert tape with live Who, Pretenders, etc. from 1981, and a Eric Clapton/Yardbirds live tape that is somewhat rare too- amazing what the heartland has to offer in 8-tracks, I can only imagine what their thrifts out there would yield |

I found a few tapes at a flea market in Chetopa. The old lady told me.
We all know that 8-tracks aren't worth anything." How true!. I live in the "heartland" and tapes are still cheap here. Less than a dollar. And that's the way it shoud be. 8's have no value. If you think they do, you're just hurting yourself and paying more money than should be. Can you send me some scans of some of your stuff? bicycle wrote: bicycle wrote: Paris Gun wrote: I just bought out a huge lot of LP's and 8-tracks from an Ohio college Sure you did, just like your claim my Ebay account was banned.

The Rutles' "Archaeology" didn't come out until 1997-ish, "I'm Too Sexy" was 1991-1992, Lenny Kravitz didn't make a big hit in the US until 1993 or so (same with the Pogues and Blur and Lords Of Acid). All circa-mid-1990s home-made tapes, not 70s. |
