Wrong speed records that sound right

Brilliant, thank you!

Pleasure.
Look forward to listening to the whole mix later, thanks for sharing.

A side is a fun 1991 bleeps n bass heavy track using the ‘Mr Kirk’s Nightmare’ sample. The b-side dub ditches the sample adds some synths. Too hectic at 45 as stated, but 33 +8 is betterer

It took me just 3 years to upload this wrong speeder on YouTube. Original is quite awful tbh but this turns out being quite nice played at 33 1/3 +8.

Heard you ( @Apiento ) play this on your recent Lot Radio show.
Bought the 12" when it came out and thought it was always on 33; until heard it on Kiss played at the proper speed (female vocal, not male! - who knew!)
: )

But still think Techno Powers is best on 33 +

He died of an overdose.

Tragic really. Poor old Mr Kirk, no father should have to bury his son.

Love to stay up all night reminiscing about cheesy old rave records but despite being an INSOMNIAK!… I MUST SLEEP

also in the same series is https://www.discogs.com/release/10795-Sterac-Percy-X-Asphyx-RD600 which also sounds amazing at 33+8 too. (The sterac track)

This pumping 90s NRG track by Tranceformer becomes a chugging lament and the percussion really opens up:

Also, this OCB 133rpm burner becomes a beautiful downtempo dream, never to be played on full speed again:
