The first installment of the 1970's 8-Track Mix Series!!!
Music in the 1970's saw many developments and expanded on ideas previously introduced in the 1960's. The 1970's brings us Disco music for a few short years, it embraced the dance scene and gave the youth a new way to express themselves, it also brought progressive rock that takes you on a journey and answers some of the political questions of the day for the youth of America. By the end of the 1970's Punk/New Wave music was becoming increasingly popular as it was fun, romance and easy to dance to.
More important that all of this however was the booming popularity of Funk which was the real music of the 1970's, it took elements from nearly every other genre and blended them together to create a unique and funky sound. It spoke of real troubles and struggles the working class face on a day to day basis and build comradery amongst the people.
The 8-track tape cartridge was that it could play continuously in an endless loop, and did not have to be ejected, turned around and reinserted to play the entire tape. After about 80 minutes of playing time, the tape would start again at the beginning. Because of the loop, there is no rewind. The only options the user has are play, fast forward, record, and program (track) change.
