8-track tapes are a long-retired magnetic tape audio format that predates the cassette and was utilized as a more portable alternative to vinyl records to play in cars and trucks and on boomboxes. No producers make 8-track tapes today, so the entire box set had actually to be produced by tracking down existing tapes and then turning them into brand-new releases. After stumbling across 8-track tapes in a 25 cent bin at a regional record shop, he made numerous custom-labeled 8-track albums with the band’s music recorded onto it and dropped it off at their merch table the night of the show.
