Psychedelic / Garage / Obscure / Rare 8-Track Tapes

This page is the cream of what I have to trade or sell, and I would prefer to trade for items on my wantlist (these prices are irrelevant if you have tapes I want). Please refer also to the regular rock page and the dollar tapes page as there may be more of this type of stuff listed there (generally in somewhat lesser condition). On this site as a whole, most tapes are $5 or less, so check out the other pages if these are too pricey for you. I find fewer and fewer of the rare '60s era tape versions of this type of music each year, so don't wait too long if you are interested in collecting these! Demand for 8-tracks is still quite low, fortunately...

**I am always buying similar items in ALL tape formats as well as on VINYL LP.** TOP WANTS: Hunger- Strictly From Hunger (Ampex), Aggregation- Mind Odyssey (Ampex), Freeborne-Peak Impressions (Ampex), Christopher (Metromedia), Chrysalis- Definition (MGM), Ill Wind- Flashes (ABC), Velvet Underground- first two on Verve in Ampex 'protective cap' sleeves, Mothers Of Invention- Freak Out & We're Only In It For The Money in Ampex 'protective cap' sleeves, Pink Floyd- Tower titles in GRT pic boxes, many more, see my wantlist page!
