Retro Thing says: "Around 1984 8-tracks disappeared from most retailers' shelves, but determined fans could still pick up some limited new releases until about 1988 via mail-away record clubs. That's the story behind the Phil Collins 8-track of his massively successful solo effort, "No Jacket Required". That makes "No Jacket Required" one of the few albums that would have been concurrently released on LP, 8-track, cassette, CD, VHS, CED, and who knows what else since."
