[78-L] 45s

[Kristjan Saag]

Some of the confusion with not knowing the speed on electronica discs 
was and is quite enjoyable. One has to figure out if the drone in the 
beginning is supposed to be a drone or just a long intro on wrong speed, 
if the singer is male or female etc. This led some dj:s to deliberately 
play tunes on wrong speed if they thought that sounded better, creating 
unexpected dance floor hits for the artists on some occasions...
