has anyone ever listened to a 45lp at 33.3


Was listening to Ry Cooder last night..."A Meeting By The River". Forgot to switch speeds and listened to an entire side at 33, all the while thinking, "Man, this sounds really nice tonight."

Although the side did seem to last a bit longer than usual.

When Reference Recordings issued a 45 rpm recording of Respigi's "Church Windows" a critic actually made the mistake of listening to it at 33 1/3 rpm. The amazing thing is that the critic actually acknowledged the mistake in a subsequent report (the piece is not an often heard warhorse). It is easier to be fooled and not recognize such a mistake with non-vocal classical pieces than most other kinds of music.
