Jersey’s Greatest Foreigner Hits on 8 Track

In my travels across the Great Garden State, I recently came across a treasure-trove of "ancient technology!"

Audiophiles are re-discovering the "warmth" of vinyl.

And even the cassette is making a (slight) comeback due to the fact that it's so "retro."

C'mon, you remember the "mixtape!" You made (or were given) more than one.

Lately, it seems that "everything old is...new again."

However...I don't think that the 8 track is going to be joining the "old is new" trend.

If for no reason other than often it was your favorite song that had to "fade down" in the middle, so the track could change. CLICK!

And, then your favorite song would fade back...up.

"Cold As Ice" on tracks 2 and 3, makes my point.

Here at New Jersey 101.5, we love Foreigner:

"Foreigner" formed in New York City in 1976.

The name comes from the band's makeup: with half of the members from the U.S. and half from England...no matter where they would be, someone would be considered a "foreigner."

The hits on this vintage 8 track tape?

"Feels Like The First Time" went to #4 in 1977.

"Cold As Ice" would follow up, landing at #6 on the "Hot 100" later in 1977.

"Long, Long Way From Home" would peak at #20 in early 1978. Remember?

To me, it looks like this 8 Track Tape has been played a LOT over the years since.

At home...and in the car, travelling the Jersey highways!

AWESOME!

One more thing...while you're enjoying "Cold As Ice" (above), don't forget to think "CLICK" half way through.

It's the 8 Track way!
