PLEASE NOTE: There is a possibility that the tape may have become loose from the spool in transit.
If you choose our service option, we would check this and correct the issue for you.
If you purchase directly and do not check the tape inside before playback, you will risk damaging the tape and no refund will be available.

All 8 tracks are pre-loved (used) and are sold “as is”.

We do offer a “service cart” option or you can add additional spare parts if you wish to service the cart yourself.

It is highly recommended that all 8 tracks have replacement pads, a new foil splice and internal cleaning done before use.

The foam pads inside are very old (over 40 years) and would have deteriorated, even if the cart is sealed and has never been used.

8tracks.uk can not be held responsible if the tape or player become damaged if this procedure is not carried out on your 8 track tape purchase.

Description

Hergest Ridge is the second studio album by English musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1974. It is a concept album inspired by the landscape of Hergest Ridge, a hill in Herefordshire, England.

The album is divided into two parts, “The Rising of the Moon” and “The Spirit of the Trees.” The music is mostly instrumental, with Oldfield playing a variety of instruments, including guitar, synthesizer, and mellotron. The album also features some vocals, provided by Oldfield and his then-wife Sally Cooper.

Hergest Ridge is a landmark album in the history of progressive rock. It is a sprawling, ambitious work that showcases Oldfield’s virtuosity as a musician and composer. The album is also notable for its use of synthesizers, which were relatively new at the time.

Hergest Ridge was a commercial success, reaching number one in the UK album charts. It was also well-received by critics, who praised its originality and ambition. The album has since been recognized as a classic of progressive rock.
