The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape
The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape is an album by post-hardcore noise rock band Big Black. It was released in 1987 by Touch & Go Records. The album is a CD compilation of Big Black's Atomizer album, Headache EP and "Heartbeat" single. The track "Strange Things" from the original Atomizer LP was not included on this release.
The title of the album, and the liner notes by Steve Albini, show the band's low regard for compact discs (the 8-track tape was state of the art in the 1970s).

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or track:
“The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts. These require rich and abundant animal nature, such as they possess; and if ever they become highly civilised, they will excel in music, dancing and elocution.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“To most men, experience is like the stern lights of a ship, which illumine only the track it has passed.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
