I was in Nashville a couple of years ago and I found a shop that was stacked with 8-tracks - 25c each, in crumbling shrinkwrap. I looked for the worst one I could find. A Mouth & McNeal album (third place in the 1974 Eurovision, pop pickers). It does not contain their hit.

Not quite, at least not in the US. Once upon a time I owned Never Mind the Bollocks & My Aim is True on 8-track. Gave 'em away with the other 15 or so that I owned (Blonde on Blonde, Hot Rocks, Low, Cheap Trick's In Color, Sparks' Propaganda ... & uh, All This & World War 2 [or whatever that forerunner of the Sgt Pepper's flick was called], etc.), back in maybe '87.
