Wow, I'm really surprised someone actually reissued the Strand LP. Who is
this person in Spain that did that, and how did they track down the band
members or original label in order to put it out? In any event, I have a
question. I compared the MP3 samples from Not Lame to the transfer I made
from a copy of the LP, and immediately noticed a small but significant speed
difference. I've seen this problem happen to other reissues, where they
somehow got the speed wrong on the CD. But theoretically it could be my
problem, although I usually am very careful to check the speed every time I
play an LP. Unfortunately, I no longer have the LP to check against. So I'm
curious if it's possible for people to tell, simply by listening to the slower
and faster versions, which one sound more correct. Anyone want to give me
their opinion, based on the MP3s at the following web page:

These are sound samples of 2 of the songs, with faster and slower versions of
each. I won't tell you which is the CD or LP version, as that could influence
your answer. Thanks! - Mark
