I think it was called "Mind Scream", "Mind Freak" or something like that. Any knowledge of this most timely Jr. High school sleeper?

I remember that, when the cassette units came out, they freakishly advanced the film strips automatically via some sort of demonic magic -- this usually resulted in the filmstrip being one frame behind what the tape was talking about. Not only did the "automated filmstrip advancing machine" provide our first clues (back in 1979) that robots would one day become our benevolent overlords, but it also completely destroyed classroom discipline by eliminating the glamor (and pretty much only perk) of being the teacher's pet. Great find though. I think they were still regular vinyl LP’s in ‘77.
