[brooklynhope]

@MrUncleglenn you should write one of them romance books...the ones with fabio on the cover...

[jenzeppelin]

i wasn't expecting this recording to be sped up so much and when it loaded up it startled me and i started choking on my coffee lol. bit of a whirlwind for my morning head there! one thing's for sure...this upload of it certainly keeps one moving fast! :)

[gunrunner38]

FIREEEEEEEEEEE

[Miwof]

speeding up something that goes really strong in original tempo ??

Doesn´t get better, looses power.

Btw:

Drummer is Jon Hiseman at 23...

[bmibaby123456]

[Xaiclun]

[SteveGad]

Speeded up? Sounds weird!

[Deadite32]

I love this song!

[TheAwelix]

I wanna play this at my funeral!!!

[tariksba]

fastest version ?

[milliebrewster]

No, no, no ... This is all terribly wrong. If the intent was to be funny, like a munchkin thing, then that's different, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, and it doesn't really come off anyway. Whoever sped this up doesn't understand the simple, basic concept of groove. Plus they should have their funeral obituary read at blazingly high speed, and see how much of it people remember, let alone appreciate. Savor music at the tempo it was given you. Don't turn it into a Big Mac. I'll get o

[montymagic1987]

TUNE!

[FinestHD]

Play this stuff backwards. Haha! Good stuff though.

[puck30]

The Band is playing like it's trying to make a plane.

[MisterDD78]

i prefer this speed up version.. more trippy

[ceredigio]

Doesn't sound right at this speed!

[mannecyberguy]

@ceredigio I agree, it's just not the same.

[4543563]

I actually prefer this version.

[gto66solstice08]

Freshman year .... What a rush!

[teendude16]

Ya, it is off speed, we have this and it sounds slower. Thx.

[dover357]

what's a "plonker"?

[larocque3]

EPIC FAIL

[deadelvis333]

FAIL.... it should be played at it's original speed.

[emelokothevolcom]

i like this version more than the slow one

[NerdilyDone]

Me too.

[rockit99]

For the life of me I cannot figure why on earth you've buggered this up by speeding it up. It was meant to be played as it was recorded you plonker.

[DarkStylezz]

that version sucks :F. Its much much better when its slower.

[emelokothevolcom]

like a little girl!! hahahaha

[borgduck]

Wee bit fast.

[robinkom]

Love it. I have the 45 of this too. A little nicked up but it plays just fine. This is about the speed it goes for me on my turntables... don't have any with self-correcting speed.

[AVP2Ftw]

it seems sped up

[Kirke182]

i did some checking and Drachen Theaker is listed as the album drummer and Carl Palmer is listed as the US tour drummer.

[Kirke182]

That's Carl Palmer on the drums, isn't it?

[tfcrew]

@Kirke182 Arthur Brown vocals

Pete Townshend associate producer

Vincent Crane arranger, keyboards

Kit Lambert producer

Sean Nicholas bass guitar (was later known as Nicholas Greenwood)

Drachen Theaker drums (album)

[Kirke182]

@tfcrew Thanks for the info but is Drachen Theaker a real name?

[tfcrew]

Apparently ..wiki info--their original drummer was Drachen Theaker. However, Theaker suffered from aviophobia, and this meant he could not tour with his bandmates when the time arose for them to tour overseas. Thus, Theaker was the drummer on the band's eponymous album, but afterwards, Palmer took his place, and became a permanent member of the band...Carl Parlmer did tour w/Art Brown. In Dallas I saw both Art Brown and Atomic Rooster..Palmer was drums in one of them..forgot which??

[Kirke182]

@tfcrew Must have been Rooster since Palmer & Crane left Brown to form Rooster--at least that's what I thought. I doubt Palmer went back to Brown.

[jackasskid2]

This wouldn't happen to be the song with the beginning that George Harrison was yelling out with a burning ashtray on his head would it?

[Alex618mir]

You gonna BURN

[TheMetalGuy852]

your record player is definitely not running at 45 rpm

[GPM1952]

[tottart]

Whoa - Fire on speed !

[gavdoff]

hehe, feel the hype!!!!

[Dannyboys]

got it in one gav.Coz your pitched up version sounds a bit naff.

[gavdoff]

maybe i will get round to it at somne point, but with the loss of stereotube ive lost the drive to upload audio atm

[Dannyboys]

Bloody 'ell,m8. I posted that comment 3 months ago,and youve only just replied.LOL. Well,anyway, You dont need Stereotube. All u need as a replacement is Digitope Media Digitizer.which does the same kind of job as Stereotube.Converts all your old vinyl to MP3's. Then put it all togeather in Windows Movie Maker,or whatever video editor software u use.

[gavdoff]

yeah sos abt that, some msgs get missed if more than one person comments, putting together vids isnt a prob, its just what youtube do to them when they rerender them, there are several vids ive put up as wmv's n let yt do their stuff, but for my tunes, mixes and tracks i want hq stereo, even yt's hq options dont give as hq n wot not as i was getting, nyway ill get back to some tunes when i have a mo n up as wmv from now on :)

[Dannyboys]

Thats OK,mate. U take your time.LOL.Anyway, wmv Is the best way,I think, coz it will always in stereo..Well,mine are all in stereo,anyway.

[Dannyboys]

lol. By the way,gav,what do u exactly mean by'Pitched up abt 10-20% with key correction'?

[gavdoff]

well with turntables you have a pitch control so when mixing and beat matching you can adjust the speed of the record, on almost all my recordings i increase the pitch, or speed for the layman, by about 10-20% above the standard 45rpm which would noramaly make the sound, especially the vocals, a bit chipmonky LOL but my decks have a thing called key correction which maintains the original tone of the record when activated, so in this case it pitches the sound back down so it sounds normal :)

[Dannyboys]

Ok. But the thing is,why bother? I mean why dont u just leave both pitch and key corretion on neutral and just record it normally,if you see what I mean.

[gavdoff]

because I find it sounds better with a slightly higher tempo and well I can LOL

[Dannyboys]

I prefer it at normal tempo,my self.LOL.

[gavdoff]

Do you want me to upload a normal speed version? let me know and ill make it so :)

[Dannyboys]

Well yeah,it is.

[gavdoff]

yup LOL

[Dannyboys]

Er,yeah that would be good.Coz,Ive heard it on the radio(unpitched,of course) and it sounds a lot better than your pitched version.

[Dannyboys]

er yeah,please do

[gavdoff]

Ok will get to it asap, as am having a mare here atm :(

[Dannyboys]

ok,thanks

[Dannyboys]

Fantastic,m8/Great track.

[gavdoff]

well its a classic, what more can we say :)
