Hopefully zero, but one cannot deny the propensity of people to embrace nostalgia even if it is inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofeline Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 "Hmm, that nice warm analogue sound...." I hope they don't come back. Now what are the chances that Edison Cylinders will become cool again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemarquis Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 More hipster hype. That said I've heard some pretty nice digital transfers of 8 track tapes. Often they had bonus tracks or versions not released on other formats. Stones 'Miss You' being one example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of that. What was the bonus on the Stones "Miss You" (and are your referring to the Some Girls album, or a 8-track single of "Miss You")?

From memory maybe a Canadian release (?) in any event the Miss You version was an extended one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
