The term "8-track" refers to the format's use of eight separate tracks of audio on a continuous loop of magnetic tape. Developed in the 1960s, the 8-track cartridge provided a way to play music in a portable format, particularly in cars and home systems. The design allowed for longer playtime compared to earlier formats, making it popular for music distribution until it was eventually overshadowed by cassette tapes and other technologies.

Is anyone selling a CD of Dick Clark 20 years of Rock and Roll?

According to many searches in the past years since 1998 this particular compilation was never released in CD format. I have the original 8Track since 1976. You can find the 8track and LP's on Ebay and Amazon. FYI almost all the songs on the 8Track are cut in order to fit the 30 tracks on the 8track. This was disappointing discovering in my later years verses and in some cases rearranging of the actual song were done.
