You mean :-) LIKE CHI-CLUNK ! :-)
Oh, I can assure you as the chief junk collector on this forum (anyone want to challenge me for more junk / less value?),
I have PLENTY of 8 track, quadraphonic 8 track & 4 track tapes, and PLENTY of their associated players and even recorders in some cases as well.
When I recorded them back in the day, I would let it record through the track change which seemed a less obtrusive and obnoxious compromise than the fade down - click - fade up of the commercial tapes that couldn't seem to get the breaks arraigned so as not to interrupt the songs.
Quote from the Wikipedia article on 8 tracks -
"Among audio service technicians, there used to be a joke that "the eight-track is the only audio device which knocks itself out of alignment four times during each album.""
