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"...
