Talking about messed up record speeds I was tempted the other day by a very interesting item. Basically someone had taken an old Beach Boys track (Good Vibrations if memory serves) and played it at 1 rpm on a specially adapted turntable. The resultant "noise" was then released as a CD album, sounding a bit like Pee Namlook no doubt. (Awaiting Anti-Fax flames as we speak) Question - The Two Lone Swordsmen mix of Ganger's Trilogy, 33 or 45?
