Here are the 8-Track tapes found in Bobby Zalenski's garage (and the player too).
The recordings found here came from these tapes which were recorded upstairs
while the band played down in the basement (with the volume on 11!)
Son Of A Poor Man and Stepping Out recordings are from the tapes "as-is".
I'm working on restoring the tapes with new pads and reflecting tape.
The rest of the recording are from these restored tapes.
Here's some pics of the first repair process (I was pretty scared, but it worked out OK)
First I had to get the case open

The foam pad was really deteriorated

The replacement foam and reflecting tape

Then I cut the old reflecting tape out

This was the scary part!

The tape is rewound and ready close the case

Like New (well almost!)
