Yes, and only the first run of them had the band surrounded by flames. After the crash, the record company deleted the flames from the covers.
You've got to get on this 8-track bandwagon with me.

The first non performance mod we did on customers cars as well as our own, was an underdash 8-track unit... many times on a slide-out bracket. Pair of round speakers in the kick panels & 6x9 Jensens on the shelf. Of the gazillion tapes I blasted away back in the day, I only have Master of Reality, Volume 4, and Billion Dollar Babies left. And, my home Wollensak 8075A the best 8-track player made. I now have a NOS Spark-O-Matic player under dash of my RR.

I had a guy in Colorado go thru my Pioneer . Cleaned and new belt . Also added a 1/8 plug so I can run any device with a headphone jack through it. Got a eight track from the Possum that stays in tape slot. This guy is the Guru on car 8 track players. http://barrys8trackrepair.com/

I have no problem with the sound of my new 8 tracks. Yes about 10% of the ones I buy don't work properly. I am talking quantity not quality here. I find 8 track lots and buy them for cheap. My point is I am getting a bunch of albums for next to nothing. This morning I'm listening to Cream. Would I ever had this album in my collection? Never. I even got a soundtrack for the Good the Bad and the Ugly. It's just fun to hear all this old stuff.
Am I a cheap bastard, yes.

Now, if only I didn't throw out all those l.p.'s and 8-tracks many years ago, I could've sold them to Steve.
