The Tape of Only Linda is the second full-length album by The Loud Family, led by guitarist and singer/songwriter Scott Miller. The title of the album is a reference to the notorious tape recording of a live performance of "Hey Jude" by Paul McCartney in which an engineer had isolated Linda McCartney's vocals.
