Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Sometime back in the progressive mists of time (the 70s), I played side 2 of King Crimson's "Starless and Bible Black" on 45rpm instead of 33 and I didn't notice it until Fripp's wigout about 4mins from the end!
there was also a Tangerine Dream 12" called "Speed" that snouded fine at either 45 or 33

During a DJ Set at the old Tropic Club in Bristol I once played almost all of a record at the wrong speed. I was very drunk and the headphones were buggered tho...
I did it with the Sisterhood Gift actually, 1st time I listened to it I put it on at 45. The "two five zero zero zero" intro sounds like Pinky and Perky.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Somewhere, I stumbled on a version of Shriekback's The Mercy Dash played at 33 RPM. It is, quite honestly, fantastic.

But yeah, that's made for that... A great DJ tool!
Back in the day when Aphex Twin came with a new record every other week (mid nineties) at times I didn't know what speed to play some of those records. Both 33 and 45 sounded wicked
There's the good story of how New Beat started in Belgian discotheques in the eighties. They started playing some electro/dance twelves at a slower speed so the sound got deeper and heavier, especially the drums & bass sounds... This one is always said to be the one after which everything changed in that scene:

i played the 12" of "sebastien" by sex gang children at 33rpm by mistake and thought it was a bit naff, but ok in places. it was the first time i'd heard the band or the song which, when played at the correct speed, sounded utterly more ridiculous.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
Six Grown Children are dreadful wank, I know I saw them back in't day

so instead of being known to sun readers and the like as "that bloody puff who says he's a boy but looks like a bird" George could have been "that bloody puff who looks like a woman but says he's a boy when really he's a man who thinks its ok to have sex with kids".

"troubled" would indicate an understanding and level of awareness that is frankly missing from the mindsets of the retards i was emulating...after all, "he's a bender, inneh?" indeed.

Half of my records sound fine at either speed until someone starts singing And of course, as Koen said, Belgium in the late eighties (when I was a toddler) was wrong-speed-heaven!

Me too, at that dreadful disco with the revolving stage upstairs in the Merrion. They were so bad live that it made me appreciate TJ's skill as a producer as the records always sounded half decent. Still, they were better live than Virgin Prunes or Cabaret Voltaire or Christian Death or ....
