I fear that maybe Mr. Speers has escaped from the mental clinic.[?]

Well, THE BEATLES plus Sir George Martin made true miracles with 4 tracks recorder machines, you know Revolver, Sgt.Pepper...need to say more??
When they recorded Abbey Road, the studio got the 8 tracks machine and Moog synthsizer introduced by George Harrison that sounded a very advanced recordings to that time.

Peace.

The only 8 TRACK CARTRIDGE release of the Beatles I ever saw with extra tracks was YELLOW SUBMARINE - which added LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS. The others perhaps had extra tracks, but I never had Beatles on 8 track. In fact, I never had an 8 track player. Even when they were popular I hated them. The loop tape required for an 8 track tape put extreme wear and tear on the tape itself. They sounded awful. Tons and tons of tape hiss. A friend of mine had the Yes album CLOSE TO THE EDGE on 8 track, and it certainly took the velocity out of the title track having it faded and continued on the next track.

I do remember hearing the Beatles 'white' album on 8 track, and the running order of the songs was all messed up.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED with 8 TRACK RECORDING MACHINES as used by The Beatles at EMI.

8 Track cartridges? I'll never miss them.

Oh...THAT 8 tracks then... I misunderstood things. I never had such equipment, just cassete tape system beyond turntables in the 70s... Only a friend of mine had one in his home, and he ever was taping the records with echoe effects, dubbing and mixing tracks... He was kinda maniac doing such tapings all day long at weekends. I thought that was cool, that was pure fun to him... I even think that now he works in any recording studio with 64(or more?) tracks machine...LOL[:D]

Peace.

LOL!

I heard that the "I wanna hold your hand" single 8 track is worth quite a bit of money.
