Because this tape is sealed new and we cannot inspect for play-ability, we offer no warranty or guarantees on how well this tape will perform once it is opened and removed from the cellophane package. Because this sealed new 8-track tape is very old, the foam pad and glue on the foil splice most often has a tendency to deteriorate over many years of time. Always inspect and replace if necessary those items before playing any sealed new 8-track tape, or damage to the tape and player may occur.
If you would like this new sealed tape gently opened and inspected for play-ability with a new pad and foil splice added, please go to "New 8-track tape repair" in the New 8-track tape category and we will gladly perform the work for you. Be sure to select the number of repairs needed for the amount of sealed tapes you are purchasing.
Harriet Schock is an American singer, songwriter, teacher, author, and actress. She made three albums for a major label in the 70s, scoring gold and platinum awards for her Grammy-nominated Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady, before moving into teaching and soundtrack work, and then resuming an ongoing recording career in the 90s.
Schock, whose father was a dermatologist, grew up in Texas as one of two sisters, and was encouraged to play piano from an early age. Her natural ability to play by ear quickly became apparent.
After a brief spell working in advertising, Schock became a staff writer for Colgems-EMI, and, in a deal that fell through, almost became a Columbia Records recording artist. Shortly thereafter, she signed with 20th Century Records, and her recording career began in earnest, with a series of three albums, Hollywood Town, She's Low Clouds (both 1974), and You Don't Know What You're In For (1976), all notable for their pithy lyrical approach, and musical incisiveness. On the strength of these recordings, Schock was twice awarded Cashbox's Best New Female Artist.
During this period, Helen Reddy scored a #8 Billboard Hot 100 with Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady. Schock's original version had appeared on her debut album, Hollywood Town. Reddy recorded further Schock-written songs, while many other artists began to interpret Schock's work, including Roberta Flack, Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Syreeta, Nancy Wilson, Manfred Mann, Vicki Carr, and Jeannie Kendall.
In addition to "Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady", another widely recorded Harriet Schock song is "First Time On A Ferris Wheel", co-written with Misha Segal. Among the most celebrated versions is Carl Anderson's, which appeared on his eponymous 1986 album for Epic Records. The song was composed during the period in the 80s when Schock worked for Berry Gordy, writing songs for Jobete.
Schock then resumed her own recording career with two albums produced by Nik Venet - American Romance (1995) and Rosebud (1999). In 2010, she released her seventh album, Breakdown on Memory Lane.
Having taught songwriting at the University of Southern California from 1986 to 1988, she moved into private tuition, and - in the late 90s - her songwriting manual, Becoming Remarkable, was published by Blue Dolphin.
Schock has written songs for film and television since the 1970s.[9] Among the films are Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection, The Last Dragon and The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking. Television shows include The Partridge Family, The Benny Hill Show and the Jane Seymour TV movie Matters of the Heart.[10]
Schock wrote the theme song for the PBS series Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks, and then provided music for the Henry Jaglom films Going Shopping, Hollywood Dreams (2006), and Irene in Time (2009).
Harriet appeared with her band in Henry Jaglom's Irene in Time (2009).
In 2009 and 2010, Schock took a role in the Henry Jaglom play Just 45 Minutes From Broadway.
