"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 CD compilation of Big Black's "Atomizer" album, "Headache" EP and "Heartbeat" single. The track "Strange Things" from the original "Atomizer" LP was not included on this release.

The title of the album, and the liner notes by Steve Albini, show the band's low regard for compact discs (the 8-track tape was state of the art in the 1970s).

"Kerosene" has been covered by several bands, including Pitchshifter
