Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 10, 2010

Probably will find those without too much trouble, too! :^)

When I go to those places, I look for vintage cassette recorders…from the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s.

I still have all my 8 track stuff and it still works.

8-track? I never succumbed to the fad, it has more problems than cassettes or vinyl with none of the advantages of either. I do, however, have about 60 LPs and am in the market for more.

don’t forget Perry Como

At least Pluggers can still read and right ( not necessarily spell)

Pluggers in Maine-hummm- well,suppose so, I was born there!! (only spent 1st 2 weeks of my life there tho). I pretty much do the same at yard sales- but, I keep the list in my head!! :-) :-) .:”^”:. Jill-

Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, yeah, Kate Smith, no thanks. Lovely voice, but not my kind of music.

durtclaw my mother LOVED Perry Como!

I hated the way they took a 2 sided LP & made it 4 channels. It would let the tape play until it just wore out, & they’d click in the middle of a song to go to the next channel. 8-track was doomed when they figured out how to put stereo & auto-reverse on cassette players. But before 8-track, most cars only had radio, FM if you paid for the upgrade.

Anybody remember in the mid 60’s a 4-track auto player that was available? I didn’t have one, but heard one once.

I had a 4-track. Also had a 4+8 track. It was a pile of crap.

I take a list with me to the library used book sales. Otherwise I tend to buy things I already own.
