16 rpm


I remember my parents having a magnavox console stereo with a tuner, reel to reel and a turntable with a speed of 16. I was 10 and played iron man at speed 16, and it was scary, ask my younger sister. Anyone out there have 16rpm records?

First Butthole Surfers first release, Butthole Surfers EP, I purchased early 80's. I'd never heard music like this prior to the purchase, ep suggested it be played at 69rpm. I listened to it atĀ  both 33 1/3 and 45, can't recall if I had ability to play at 16, anyway never determined my favorite speed or intended speed. PerhapsĀ  my favorite idiotic song lyric ever from song on ep, "The Shah sleeps in Lee Harvey's grave, "I smoke Elvis Presley's toenails when I wanna get high."
