Nice one, I have the Sweet16 picture disc, thought that a mint copy of funny how sweet coco can be would be worth a bit more than £25, I'll hang onto them for now!!

At least one of our members has a copy. It was a mistake, I think - some copies were sent out pressed at slightly the wrong speed and recalled...

Plays at 48rpm so a bit Pinky and Perky.
I got mine given to me by some girl who said it didn't sound right, she thought it was the correct speed until I told her.

I get better and better looking every day...... I cant wait for tomorrow!!

If its 48rpm, if you play it at 45 it will sound slow. Have you been playing it at 78 to hear it like Pinky and Perky?

Ewan, don't be a knob, it was released at the speed of 48rpm and played at 45rpm it was going at 3rpm too fast, you're hard work at times admit it. Full of contradictory questions, and also Ewan, stand easy. I'm only joking.

I know I'm hard work at times and I know you don't mind really, and even if you did, I don't care.

Seriously though, if a record is being played slower (45rpm) than its proper (48rpm) speed then its going to sound lower pitched, not higher. Try playing a 33rpm at 45rpm and vice versa and you'll see what I mean. If you played a 45rpm version of the song at 48rpm then I reckon that it would sound like goldengreats 48rpm sample. I'd say that it sounds more like it was a 42rpm or 43rpm pressing. Did it actually say 48rpm on the label?

I was going to ask that..are there any obvious clues on the record label or can you only tell by listening to the disc..like the "clean" version of Slade's "Thanks for the Memory"

The matrix number in the run-off groove is different, apparently...

i'm with Ewan the knob on this one...

It would have to be undercranked if the net result is that it "sounds" faster. Your turntable is the constant...it's always gonna play at 45 rpm.

(Unless you have one of those poofy strobe adjusters on your turntable like I did...I ould crank songs up to make them play faster and more rocky...but as you say it's a fine line between Rocky and Pinky n Perky!)

The turntable has a constant 45rpm, that's agreed.
You put the souce material on that has been incorrectly burned too fast i.e 48rpm, the result is a single spinning at 45rpm but the information it's reading or playing has been recorded too fast. It won't sound slower will it. It can only reproduce the sound it's given and the sound in this case is too fast.
The original sound ISN'T being slowed down to 45rpm.
Enough of this nonsense.

Ahhh. Gotcha now, I think.

The recording that the single was copied from was a 45rmp single which was played at 48rpm for some unknown reason?

I always thought that records were cut using tape as the sourse material, but obviously not in this case. Thats probably one of the reasons why I was getting confused.

Cheers. Ewan.
