The * on some of the GRT tapes denotes I have two versions of the same tape, ones containing the left channel swap error and others without the error.

[JonUrban]

Nice! We should do pictures here too!

[Q8Repair]

Wow. Nice collection! How do the ohio players sound in Q8?! Oh man, that'd be sick!

*sheepish grin*
Thanks! The Ohio Players tapes sound really good. Honey sounds identical to the DTS CD that was also released. Fire is also good, though I don't play it all that often.

Pictures can be done!

[Q-Eight]

I could probably rattle off the sealed/never opened tapes that I've also opened:

Steve Miller - The Joker
Eagles - One of these nights
Guess Who - Canned Wheat, Share the Land, Road Food, Flavours, Power in the Music
Ringo Starr - Goodnight Vienna

But I'm also more into collecting for the music, not just to show off that I have all these tapes. Every one gets played. Heck, I even had a Q8 player in my AMC Hornet for a few years.

[JonUrban]

I love how everyone stores them by label. I do the same thing.

[Lucanu]

Here's my little collection.

[Dylan Berichon]

My lone Q8 is a still sealed copy of Curtis Mayfield's "Roots".

I have another Q8 that came in a large 8-track collection I bought a few years ago, but I can't remember the name of the album for the life of me. (It was a live album, that I do remember... One of the songs on it was called "You and I").

[JonUrban]

Here's the pile I used for the QQ Q8 background:

[Floyfn]

I have a small collection, but I've given up on the format since most titles I want are now availible on disc anyways. my Carly Simon "No Secrets" has gone AWOL.

Mine are all in boxes. Still packed away from a recent divorce. Will get settled and haul them out again at some point, but here is my list;

My apologies in advance for all the annoying pop-ups. It's a free website and I made my web pages back in the late 90's. Just have not gotten around to transferring it over to another server.

[Q-Eight]

Impressive List Dr8track!!

I think my collection just crossed the 150 tape mark. Catching up to my stereo 8-track collection!

So how does Cosmic Slop by Funkadelic sound??

[roundhousequad]

some poor pics of mine

[JonUrban]

Sweet. Anyone remember going into a store and seeing that many Q8's? There was a store I went into off of Times Square once that had a huge Q8 case filled with them. I can't remember the name of the store, but they went out of business years ago. I think the chain was bought by Sam Goody.

[QuadraTOMic]

Show them fishbulb's!

[JonUrban]

Show them fishbulb's!

Is Scott a member here? I think he knows about "us", but AFAIK he hasn't joined, or at least he hasn't posted or "decloaked"!

It was called King Karol Records. They had a few stores including their main store on 42nd street as well as the one in times square that you mentioned. I purchased many quad tapes there myself as well as Wally's Tape World on the west side.

That was it! King Karol Records. Wow. I hadn't thought about them for years. A great store. They had shelves of albums all stacked way up high with a ladder to access them (employees only of course), and I remember scanning the spines from far away looking for the occasional COLUMBIA QUADRAPHONIC at the bottom instead of COLUMBIA, then asking if I could go up and see which one it was. Of course, that's back when I could see small things from a distance.

[Q-Eight]

Show them fishbulb's!

My sworn enemy! Grrrrrr...........!

I need to find out where he lives. He must have 12 copies of every Quad tape ever recorded!

[QuadraTOMic]

Tell you where he lives - I was at his house! OUT OF SIGHT!!!!!

[Q-Eight]
