I hear that if you play this at 33 1/3 RPM that you get something wholly different. Is this true, is there any way to hear this without buying the original record and then screwing with it?

@TheNEWfilmfanatic99  I've never heard of that before. I don't see how a person could w/o the album. Unfortunately, I only have this on CD.

The original LP was pressed so that the needle would not progress into this track unless the tone arm of the turntable was manually advanced. Therefore, you didn't have much choice but to follow Arthur Godfrey's mandate to change the speed to 78. By the way, I love this track! Moby Grape definitely understood (as did Ian Whitcomb, Herbert Khaury and a few others), but sadly it was over the heads of many a listener.

@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 NO you get the same thing at the wrong speed i have the record listners didnt understand the nostalgia of this song

@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 I have the record. The effect is the same as if you were to take the song and slow it down digitally with Audacity or any other audio editing program, The song slowed down is not really a new song, just very low moans and clinking instruments.

@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 I bought this record (Moby Grape "Wow") at an auction. I played it at 33 1/3 and realized it's certainly different. Though not a completely different song by any means, it created the same effect as slowing down the track digitally, in WMM, Audacity or any other audio editor. The vocals are deep, slow and impossible to understand while the music is quiet, spread-out and haunting. The effect of the orchestra is similar to something one would expect at a possessed house.
