Most of the songs sound more abstract @ 33 rpm. At 45 rpm they have a
lot more groove. I can't remember if it was A or B but I've noticed they
take on a completely new life when played at the *incorrect* speed.
Maybe I just have too much time on my hands but playing with sound is fun
in general... :)

Granted, you can't do it to all tracks.

Take care everybody,
