Departure was the first and only 8 track tape I bought new. It was at a Gibson's (Pamida's?) on edge of town where I bought many 45s and K-tel albums. Went in to buy "Any Way You Want It" 45 but it was sold out or at least the space marked for it was empty. No problem, I'll just get the album for a few dollars more. Labelled album space also empty. Eight track sitting atop display. Snagged it. Dad begrudgingly played it in car's 8 track player on the way home and I remember him saying "I'm glad you like it" when we got home a mere four or five songs later.
