Actually it's "Good Vibrations at 1&2 rpms." I'm lucky 
enough to have this one but i had to pay a pretty
penny for it. You cant imagine what playing a track 
at 1&2 rpms will do to a song. Instead of a poppy Beach
Boys song, 1&2 rpms turns Good Vibrations into a dark
rumbling glitchy soundscape that would normally be
reserved artists/labels like ost, coil, lustmord, mego, 
dorobo, miau miau international and maybe vinyl 
communications. For me it's an impressive 7"...
