Vanity 6 on 8 Track?

Was the Vanity 6 Album ever on 8 track? I think it'd be cool to have on 8 track.
If it doesn't fit, it's ugly anyway.

I think a Vanity 6 8-track would be something cool and unusual to have in my Vanity collection. I don't have an 8-track player nor have I even seen one because I am only 19.

I'm pretty sure 8-tracks were not being made anymore by the time the Vanity 6 album was released.

Correct.
Eight-Track tapes disappeared completely in 1982 giving way to the "modern" cassette format.

It is therefore quite unlikely that the Vanity 6 album was ever released on Eight-Track

That's not true. 8-Tracks were still made into the mid eighties. I have an advertisment from Columbia House, that I kept, because it advertised the "Around The World In A Day" album, and you could order it on vinyl, cassette, and 8-track.

This was 1985, 3 years after Vanity 6 was released.

Ok I stand corrected! I thought my facts were right but obviously not... I'm amazed that as late as 1985 they were still available. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with their disappearance from Europe as opposed to the states? I thank you for the correction.
