Check your and check out the b side of this record then change the speed.

Through out the scene DJs have tweeked the speed up and down on records to compliment the tempo on the dance floor to help with the dancing and with the sound of their set.

I think the Falcons , Has it happened to you yet ! on Lupine is certainly one that gets the fine tuning.

Not sure how many are aware if this one but I have had this track by Dee Clark on VEE JAY records (also on uk Top Rank)for some 20 years nowand i had played the B-side at 33 rpm as apposed to the 45 rpm (7 inch single). I had covered it up as Johnny Moffet and got quite a bit of interest from the crowd in Norwich and Kevin Featherstone took this idio up north a few years back.

The B-side is titled I want to love you and it tends to sit in many a box un noticed so i thought i would prompt a few people on this site to re awaken the track as it isn't half bad.

I do believe the recording is actually wrong and done deliberately wrong for the market at the time.

Does anybody out there have any other similar tracks or idios regarding the rpm / tempo.

in 1973 ish we played the San Remo Strings track I'm Satisfied at 45 rpm from their album. It worked a treat

Aycliffe Gretna pub was the location on a Friday night.

Don't know if this counts but Billy Pauls Let the Dollar circulate was played @ 45 rpm of the philly freebie 4 trak 7 inch which was at 33rpm

A title thats quite right for the current situation

Incidently i heard one of my favourite sounds George Blackwell at varying temo's over the years..........have I missed something?

Hi, This topic has had me thinking over the years!! I heard "LeeRoy, Tears", on a web radio show the other night which sounded slightly less frantic then the MCA reissue, don't know if it was a remix, or it was speed up for Northern plays when a Wigan spin which then got issued at the palyed out speed, can anyone confirm wheather the speed is differant on the Decca release..

Johnny Caswell's IOU - Much too fast - for many years (before decks had pitch control) I seriously doudted that it was even the same artist, but if you slow it down about 3 / 4 rpm then it is exactly as "YDLMA" - This tempo change was as Decca put it out, and has carried though on Champion Boots etc. (Of course, it could be that YDLMA was slowed down for it's Decca release, but I doubt it)

Some people on her will say you should'nt adjust the pitch when playing records out because there meant to be played at the speed it say's and all that crap. for me do it some records do sound better faster or slower.
