Guilty!

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

Since I was into Spazztic Blurr, Doom, Doctor and the Crippens, Napalm Death and stuff, this sounded quite OK to me back in the days....

By the way, the Johnny Logan version of "Jolene"...

And here, the ORIGINAL Sexy MOFO by Isaac Hayes.

Woah Boy!

Playable at 16, 33, 45 or 78!

I'll take that as a no then Michael

Wel it's Sonic Boom; anyone with a hoover can do the same.

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.

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

I used to play the B-side of Autobahn by Kraftwerk on 45rpm. Otherwise it sounded so dull...

The Pure Phase ep by Spiritualized.
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:
A Split Second - Flesh
at the intended 45rpm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnmTtC7A_qc
slowed down to 33 +8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iBZtSPl7WU

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.

Six Grown Children are dreadful wank, I know I saw them back in't day

Culture Club would have been called Sex Gang Children if wiser heads than Boy George's hadn't prevailed.

Andi Sex Gang basically said "George, if you're not using the name can we?" and the rest is... erm... history.

Here ends number 93 in a continuing series of "shıte you wish markfiend hadn't bothered telling you".

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".

You forgot "smackhead" or "junkie"

Edit to add: there should probably also be a "troubled" in there.

"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.

I see your point. I stand corrected.

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!

Hi Zeno! how the devil are you?

he doesn't know

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 ....
