Audiophile urban myths and legends

[Yomanze]

A few years ago a friend bought me "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" by Amy Winehouse on vinyl.

The first track I was "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" and my first thought was "who's he?" Turned out to be Amy, singing at 45rpm, and being played back at 33.

The real sickener was that my LP12 had no 45rpm adaptor, so Amy went unplayed for another two years.

Going back another four decades, when me and my stoner friends had a listening session, we would sometimes deliberately play David Essex's "Rock On" single at 33rpm because we thought it sounded better that way.

1973 was a strange year...

He he, same with Dolly Parton's Jolene, the 45 sounds great at 33.3.

Would anyone actually admit to owning a copy of that?

Great record

Love a bit of Dolly.

There's actually a really cool dance remix of the track too and it's a GUARANTEED floor-filler at weddings.
Wait till the women have started to hit the dance-floor, say around half nine, ten-ish, then lead it in with a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally long intro-mix so they all pick up on the guitar.
They'll be whooping with delight, dancing their wotsits off and singing at the top of their lungs before you know it .. all the while you stand there, beaming at each and every one of them
