"Core collection" type stuff continues to sell this week.  I've had my $2 copy of the vinyl since around 1981 or so, and since getting an early CD edition sometime in the late 80's, I've accumulated a few 8-track copies in recent years.  The other 8-tracks were earlier versions with a pink shell with the track listing on the case;  The cover was issued on those early 70's versions as a slipcase that rarely survived the test of time when resold.  The later 70's copies put the cover back on the 8-track and changed the catalog Number.  This is the version that sold.

The 8-track resequences the album pretty radically considering the importance of the track order for this one.  Instead of "What Is And What Should Never Be" following "Whole Lotta Love" we get the side one closer "Thank You."  "Heartbreaker" and "Living Loving Maid" are separated  over the 2nd and 3rd track with "What Is..." opening track 3.  "Ramble On" gets the 2 part fade over the end of track 3 to the beginning of track 4.  "Moby Dick" and "Bring It On Home" close out the 8-track just like the album.

Opening and closing conformity, like squeezing the lemon, was fundimentally critical.
