i used to do this with wax trax albums on the air.
they were 12", so sometimes i would forget that they were meant to be 45, or i would forget to reset the turntable speeds. i figured the greater damage would be to change the speed while broadcasting. sounds good to me though, it always works out in the end.
@americandiscocrash actually, now that i think about it, the 12" single would throw me off for the 12" lp and i would forget to reset the turntables. oh well.
@americandiscocrash The stuff/bands coming out of Wax Trax were primarily EBM-ish soundwise. I reckoned that some of the spins played at 331/2 would have sounded REALLY weird. Like early EBM crossed with Dead Can Dance, or an electronica twin of Swans.
@koldsacki i wish i could recall how it sounded (i could just slow it down on audacity to relive the embarrassing moments). i would have the turntables set to the previous albums speed, 45 or 33 1/3 and forget to adjust or hold the 12" and not acknowledge that it was a 45 until it was "on the air". spk i had never heard of until now--that is industrial! i am loving it. that is the college radio i remember.
I remember playing SPK's Auto-Da-Fe at 45 instead of 331/2 and the stuff coming out of the speakers were mind shattering, considering the sonic onslaught of "Slogun" and "Retard" were already vicious even by today's standards.
