lp: the rolling stone's "out of our heads" and some bizarre sing-a-long version of early beatiles hits--i remember the record was some guy playing beatles chord changes on a hammond organ--the liner came with lyrics and tablature.
8-track: i think it was deep purple's "purple passages" but i am not sure
cassette: no idea. i like cassettes, though. i still play with them. make them produce bad noises by hurting them. that kind of thing. it's lots of fun, particularly if the results are running through a p.a. nice.
btw: there was alot of good music produced in the middle 1970s. for example, island records starting isuing (remixed) bob marley in 1974, nd with that the world beyond jamaica/beyond other places with a significant jamaican community started to find out about reggae.
hip-hop emerged in the middle 1970s (rapper's delight was around 1977, yes?)
and everything of any interest that rock n roll ever had to say lyrically was summarized by the stooges on their fine record raw power, with their immortal couplet
now i wanna
be your dog
it's all been downhill from there, folks.
