13. Was any punk rock released on 8-track?
[8TM - Mr. Bucks] Think about it...punk surfaced in America in the
late-mid '70s, which was the heyday of the 8-track era. For three or
four years a lot of good punk and alternative bands found their way
onto our favorite format. Along with the Sex Pistols, there were 8-track
releases by Television, Patty Smith, Devo, The Ramones, Gary Numan,
Elvis Costello, The Stranglers, and the B-52s just to name a few.
Others punk rock and new wave artists releasing 8-tracks were The Dead
Boys, Blondie, The Clash, The Fabulous Poodles, The Runaways, The Jam,
The Police, The Plimsouls, The Records, The Talking Heads, The
Undertones, the Pirates, and just about every New Wave
and punk band that managed to land a major record deal.
