Sinister: Re: Too fast high-pitched session tape

[Brier Random]

Was the squeaky set from the Radio1 session?  Mine sounds exactly like you
described it.  Chipmunk style vocals, very silly and I hardly listen to it
because of that.  But it was a nice girl that sent it, so I wasn't rude
about it.  I don't know if the tape it came from was warped, or if I have my
cassette player on the wrong speed (I can't find the control for that) but
something was wrong.
