"Flat Packs"
At this time, we're not purchasing flat pack tapes. If you want to donate them, we'll be glad to take them. If things change, we'll update the post. Thanks!
Below is an example of a very early 8-track that I call "flat packs" (I borrowed the term.. Thanks Bgaswoodie!).
I believe that this style of cart was used only from the mid-sixties until around 1970. At least I have never seen any music recorded on them from after that period. These early carts have more complicated internal mechanisms, are a royal pain to open, and ALL of them that I have seen have suffered from "8-track tar", or melted rollers.
Since I am most interested in the very early days of 8-tracks, I collect these. Unfortunately, most of the music found on them is middle of the road "Roger Williams" style stuff. The cart pictured below is a rare example. You will notice that the end label is different then the top label. Guess it was a bad day at MGM! (Thanks to John Winnard for this cart!)
If you have any that you do not want, please let me know at sales@katestrackshack.com, as I collect them all, no matter the condition!
