I almost bought one - a 4-track just so I could add tracks to
my own songs and make it sound like a band was playing.

I did make a few "duet" songs of myself. Very cheap versions
though. I used my duel cassette player. I recorded a song
with microphone and played guitar and sang. Then played that
back with a microphone next to speaker and one for myself and
the second cassette recorded both. Fun to do.

Would be very cool to do it right with a multi-track recorder.

George Harrison did that for his "All Things Must Pass" album
