GREEN BACKS - May have a black or white plastic shell, and any one of several grip styles. Three distinct Capitol 8-track styles exist - Green backs used from 1965-1966, White cartridges used from 1967-69, and Black cartridges used from 1969-1982:ġ.

The ONLY promotional Beatles 8-track ever issued was Live At The Hollywood Bowl, designed for in-store promotional use. The last Beatles-related 8-track issued was George Harrion's Cloud Nine which was released via record club only in 1987. The very first Beatles 8-track tape issued was Rubber Soul, at the end of 1965, and the last was Reel Music in 1982. Even sealed, they hardly exist in mint condition, as many that turn up have 'bubbled' labels and bent outer cardboard sleeves. Trying to find Beatles titles of the 1960s 8-track tapes that are still sealed has become more difficult over the years. Prior to that time, most collectors would pass these by at conventions and on sales lists, figuring them to be pretty much worthless. In the late 1990s, the popularity of collecting 8-track tapes became more popular. Several smaller companies continued to release titles into the 1990s. Most major companies quit producing 8-tracks by 1988. The tape is divided in along its length into 8 channels (tracks) - allowing 4 'channels' of stereo music. The pinch roller was built in to the cartridge, and cheap manufacturing led to the use of plastic rollers instead of rubber, which caused excessive tape wear and jamming. The 1/4 inch tape was housed in a plastic cartridge, running in an endless loop at 3¾ inches per second. In the 1967 model year, Chrysler and GM offered optional 8-track players. In September of 1965, Ford offered a factory installed in-dash player for all their new 1966 models, which helped increase the popularity of the format. It was the preeminent portable and car audio format of the late 1960s and 1970s. T he 8-track cartridge format originated in the mid 1960s and, amazingly, survived more than twenty years.
