The Magnificent Seven was one of the early songtape collections made in Starsky & Hutch fandom. Exactly when the tape was produced is unclear, but it was listed in the Encore Awards held at The Paul Muni Special in 1985 where it was the winner of an Encore Award in 1985 for "Best Songtape."

The exact playlist of the collection is unknown, but here are some of the vids that may have appeared on the collection. Note: that both the songtape and one of the vids have the same title: "The Magnificent 7."

[From S and H #26 (October 1981)]: "I hope all of you are as excited about Z-Con II as Diana and I are. This gathering of fans has the potential of being the most exciting events of our time… Diana and I will be bringing our song tape. I will be shown in our room, 201. The schedule will be posted on the door. We are looking forward to seeing what others have done in this area. The grapevine says that new and exciting adventures are being taking into this medium of artistic expression."
