And indeed, Rock 'n' Roll should at least have a scary edge to it

Bands like the M*****n make me scared too
AE once said in a german music paper:Yes,Wayne H. with his impertinent red painted fingernails.

But I guess that's scary in another way, right

Oh yes, it's even better played at 33rpm instead of 45rpm too!

Nearly forgot Kiss the Carpet (reprise)

<derail>But not anywhere near as funny as Tight Fit's version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight played at 78rpm instead of 45rpm. </derail>

I think that's very brave of you Andrew to not only admit to owning it but that you actually listen to it. We are a broad church and you have our full support.

Past tense Johnny! It was back in 1983 and the record actually belonged to a friend. In our then innocence, we got much amusement from mucking around with the record player. While doing so, we also discovered that when a Tracy Ullman single was played at 33rpm, she sounded like Paul McCartney. Sadly, we never thought to try playing it backwards as well.

78 rpm =instant

Apart from when Eldritch is singing. Then it sounds more or less normal.

I love Phantom. Not so sure about Morricone.

I have a vague memory of a Radio 1 DJ (Steve Wright? DLT? I dunno) doing similar with Rick Astley and Kylie Minogue records. Kylie 33s played at 45 sounded like Astley, and his 45s played at 33 sounded like her.

I think it was intended to be some deep and meaningful point about Stock/Aitken/Waterman records.

One of them (not Waterman funnily enough) hit it on the head when asked why their studio was called the Hit Factory. He said that someone slammed the door and the S fell off.

"Hits Factory"?

I rather like Phantom. Can't recall hearing Morricone myself.
