Just think of how many developments in musical delivery systems - AND the specialized equipment needed to play that particular delivery system.

that would also play and record 8 track tapes. When I got out of the Navy I bought a 1948 Ford van, fixed it up with a bed and camping gear and an 8 track player with my favorite music. Had a great time traveling around the next summer.
