If you have no luck finding one on this site, you could try this place http://www.8trackheaven.com/

You can place wanted ads on the site, there were a few ads for Prince the last time i was on there.

Another hijacker, if you have something to sell at least have the courtesy to start your own thread.

It does exist, but i'm quite certain the Sign O The Times 8trk was a record club release only, which might explain why it is so much rarer than other titles.

Thanks everyone.

SOTT is briefly shown in the 8 track movie "So Wrong They're Right".

I might just have to make a forgery.

^wrong! 2 Notes

1st:

one overpriced sold item isn't a reference for the market value (mine was USD 4,-- this also not a reference) wink

2nd:

you think wrong...: it was just around USD 65,--

About the SOTT 8-Track: is there any proof that it really exists?

(picture, cat.number, someone who own a real one etc...)

Actually, it was me who bought it for $127.50 on 1/4/11.

And I promise I did see a guy waving SOTT in that dumb 8 track movie, but I'm not gonna sit through that thing again.

Been searching for this for years - only one I'm missing too.

I've been asking for a long time for any collector who has one to give more info or even a photo and nothing has come up at all - I'm not even convinced they exist in any form other than a catalogue number.

I'm 8trackheaven's waiting list by the way - they've been doing a search on my behalf for ages and nothing's come up.

I have a recorder, I have deadstock blank 8 tracks, I have a scanner, I have the SHM-CD version of SOTT.

Hmmmmm....

Not the same.

I hope we find a whole box of 'em and share the wealth.

Found this at the 33 second mark of that 8 Track Movie: So Wrong They're Right...

Clearly a record club issue (pretty much anything after 1983 was).
