'''''The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape''''' is an album by [[post-hardcore]] [[noise rock]] band [[Big Black]]. It was released in 1987 by [[Touch & Go Records]]. The album is a [[Compact disc|CD]] compilation of Big Black's ''[[Atomizer (album)|Atomizer]]'' album, ''[[Headache (EP)|Headache]]'' EP and "Heartbeat" single. The track "Strange Things" from the original ''Atomizer'' LP was not included on this release.
