CABINET OF CURIOSITIES: Rick Wakeman

In a stumble-over moment while looking for other things on the Internet, I noticed an ad for a Rick Wakeman 8-track cartridge... and, lingering on that item, found (to my surprise) that there's quite a trade in such things - both supply and demand being sufficient to cause several such items to appear (and sell) on eBay.

 I notice one such ad said the pressure pad had been replaced, suggesting it's been played a heck of a lot of times. But hopefully there's life in the old cartridge yet. 

 I'm surprised anyone's still around who even possesses an 8-track player, let alone regularly uses it.

 Now, where's the USB socket?....

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
