Your favorite early 70’s FM radio sounds, all heard in a single track — Santana, Yes, and Return to Forever, with a dash of Pink Floyd!

I almost bought a console stereo with an 8-track tape player. Instead saved more money, and bought a component system. I’ll write a post for posterity.
I had a few 8-tracks. The “stereo” that I saved up for had a built in 8-track player. But once I got a turntable to connect to it, I stopped buying 8-tracks. I can’t quite think of any titles that I owned. My sister had a few as well, and the only one I can remember of hers was “Streisand Superman” 😉
That’s quite an analysis of the music. I bought “Trick of the Tail” during summer break 1976, at the Harvard Coop in its heyday, when the place was packed with foot-tall stacks of all the latest LP releases. The only other Genesis album I had, the last with Peter Gabriel, was “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” on… wait for it… 8-track tape.
I wasn’t really aware of Genesis until Turn it on Again from Duke, and didn’t realize that Peter Gabriel was gone well before that, and even before Trick of the Tail! There was one little musical motif in this song that I recognized, which turns out to be from Dance on a Volcano, and which I knew from here: https://youtu.be/JOtw3ZYREhA
