FOR SALE: Original 8-Track of K-Tel's Rock '82 compilation (1982) — a Canadian Capitol/EMI pressing (Cat# 8XL-8448). This is an exceptional time capsule of early 1980s arena rock, featuring ORIGINAL RECORDINGS by the original artists.
Track Listing:
P1: Queen of Hearts (Juice Newton) / Jessie's Girl (Rick Springfield) / Private Eyes (Hall & Oates) / Take It on the Run (REO Speedwagon)
P2: Bette Davis Eyes (Kim Carnes) / Heart Like a Wheel (Steve Miller) / Fire and Ice (Pat Benatar) / The Stroke (Billy Squier)

P4: Turn on Your Radar (Prism) / Lunatic Fringe (Red Rider) / Do You Believe in Love (Huey Lewis & the News) / Nobody Said It Was Easy (Le Roux)
Rock '82 is packed with absolute classics:
Tom Sawyer by Rush, Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield, Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes, Private Eyes by Hall & Oates, Open Arms by Journey, Fire and Ice by Pat Benatar, Take It on the Run by REO Speedwagon, Do You Believe in Love by Huey Lewis & the News, and Lunatic Fringe by Canadian band Red Rider. This is a remarkable document of the era.
Note the Canadian-specific content: both Rush (Tom Sawyer) and Red Rider (Lunatic Fringe) appear on this pressing — making this a particularly special find for Canadian rock fans and collectors. 1982 was essentially the last year of mainstream 8-track production, making this one of the final chapters in the format's history.
🇨🇦 Canadian content includes Rush AND Red Rider — very cool!
📻 One of the LAST mainstream 8-track compilations ever pressed.
