Check out the bass in ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’, dirty as a hobo. Also features the best rendition of ‘My Sharona’, and the brilliant original ‘Diamond Dolls’.

This post kinda continues the theme from yesterday.

Wow, that's wild! My dad has a turntable similar, need to badger him to get it out of storage

TBF ½ slowdown is an extreme case. I'm mostly using the speed of around 0.7-0.8.

DJ turntables allow variable speed, afaik — which was employed back in the eighties to turn techno into slower and sexier Belgian new-beat. But they aren't quite consumer-grade devices, of course.
