If it is so predictable, then why ask the question?

I don't doubt that, but as an artist myself, I can tell you that most labels 
allow
some creative license in regards to label design... if it wasn't listed, then 
generally the artists have PRECONCEIVED the concept that the tempo wasn't
important. They may have written it at xxx bpm, but since the final 
manifestation of their music was going to be this medium, many people
write with that final stage in mind.

btw- as I'm sure you already know, a record that can sound sik at both speeds
is far and few between... couple that with the fact the rpm setting wasn't 
listed
(also something that rarely happens) and your betting against the odds that
it wasn't intentional...
