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 setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
