Today's Chicago Tribune had an article on the re-mixed 50th Anniversary box set of the Beatles' White Album.  A little pricey for my tastes, but it contained a number of interesting facts.   Enjoy!

I have a unopened original vinyl LP of the Beatles "White Album" ... still with cellophane wrapper and $11.40 in grease pencil written on it.... my wife spied it a garage sale. $5bucks.  Probably worth a few bob...

8-Track tapes...my mind drifts off to my '66 Mustang convertible rolling down the highway cranked to anthems such as Leslie West playing Mississippi Queen (among many others)!  Perhaps that's partly to blame for my loss in hearing. ?

Had my 8-track mounted on the floor (under the seat). I could remove and pop in tapes without taking my eyes off the road. (Except when the tape broke and then it was chaos.) ?

@Dave White  Tape breaking...not good!  And it always involved one of my favorite tapes; probably no coincidence!  My deck was mounted under the dash in front of the floor stick.  I do recall looking over the dash and feeling my way around while inserting tapes.  The invention of the "tape case" sure eliminated the sliding tapes around the passenger seat when those "hard turns with speed" were necessary.  ?

We should have a poll of how many of our current members can drive a stick shift!  (That wouldn't meet the rule of musically related, would it?)

But I'll bet of the 1500+ current members, other than some of us oldies, most can't!  ?

@matonanjin  Manual transmissions were far more interesting to use when cars were still "mobile"; versus today's "slow moving commuter parking lots"!  Extinct vocabulary, "four on the floor" or "three on the tree".  ?

Plantsman, I'm betting you know what a "Hurst" shifter is.  But I'll also bet that other than you and I there are only a few others on here that do.

Well, Neil, it's closed for repairs.  Actually, it hasn't been active for a while.  I don't know if it will get going again.  It was fun

But here is the forum for you, @Plantsman13, and a few others of us on here.

My '55 had a Hurst shifter - it had been drag raced in a former life. All in all it was pretty cool - however, I think I will stick with guitars. ?

Sorry guys, but I find it a little strange how a thread can prompt so many seemingly related, yet irrelevant responses, while some other threads with relevant information prompt so few of them. Then again, it’s the Open Talk section, so there’s some grey area here.

On the topic, I have the White Album on old vinyl as well as part of the remasters collection on CDs. However, I’m not catching the bait every time they come up with an “up-sell” scheme. Thanks for the article @Plantsman13. Some interesting info in there.
