The four track cartridge is an unfamiliar item to most music listeners today. It was invented shortly before the eight track cartridge, but for some reason it never attained the popular appeal that the eight track did. A four track cartridge might be mistaken for an eight track, the most visible difference between the two being a hole in the cartridge approximately 3/4 inches in diameter. Four tracks play at 3 3/4 inches per second, as do eight tracks. However, being in stereo, they only have two programs. This provided an advantage over the eight track of seldom having a song split between two programs. As every 8 track buyer knows, this was a major annoyance with the eight track. Four tracks seldom had this problem.

Earl "Madman" Muntz was the chief producer of four track cartridges, having purchased the right to do so in order to equip his cars with tape machines.

Capitol never manufactured their own four tracks. Prior to the middle of 1969, they licensed out to Muntz Stereo-Pak in Van Nuys, California. On these four tracks, the statement "not affiliated with Muntz T.V." appears.

THIS SET HAS THE "DUPLICATED BY MUNTZ STEREO-PAK -not affiliated with Muntz TV - VAN NUYS, CALIF." ON CARTRIDGE AND BOX!
