I have always delighted in playing records on the wrong speed, rolling on the floor and laughing until my sides need a break.

Funny story comes to mind... I remember a friend way back in high school loaned me a cassette dub he had of the Star Wars soundtrack LP from 1977. When I put it in my player it was obvious it had been dubbed at 45rpm to the cassette! I then borrowed the LP itself and made another proper dub with my mom's stereo.

Used to happen a lot back in the day when radio played vinyl. They would occasionally get the wrong speed

Many years ago, my mom, who grew up with a phonograph that only played at one speed (possibly 78 RPM), often played records at the wrong speed. I'd often tell her, "Mom, that record plays at another speed!" I even experiment with the speed with reel-to-reel tapes, especially if I don't know (or I happen to forget) the native speed, as you call it, for said tapes.

I play Justin Bieber as fast as I can to make the pitch so high to annoy the bats with it while I am happy because I can't hear that crap. Also I use extremely high speeds to shatter his albums.

I think playing a 33 1/3 at 78 *might* damage some of the higher pitch recordings slightly, since the stylus is whizzing through the grooves at more than twice the design speed. However, one use of speed changing is when converting records to mp3. You can play records faster, and then use software to convert the recording to the right speed afterwards, provided your sample rate is high enough. That means you can get more records 'done' quickly. Also, if you have 78s but no 78 speed on your turntable you can play them at 45 and then use the software to speed them up to the right speed. BUT you still need to use a 78 stylus as the grooves are larger.

Timothycan I have done that! We had 78's on hand that we wanted to see what was on them, so we played them as 33's, then speed corrected them in Audacity and bam! It worked perfectly.

Interesting video as always. Well, when I was a kid, playing around with record speeds was a great source of entertainment, and when I once listened to an old opera soprano 78 rpm record at 16 2/3 rpm I wondered if that is how elephants sound when they mate. Anyway, when I was young in the 1980s I once was asked to tape a 45 rpm 12” single with Kraftwerk's ”Tour de France” for a friend who was into dancing to such music. I was not that familiar with Kraftwerk back then and I was not that aware of 12” singles either, so I taped it at 33 1/3 rpm for him … he complained about the weird sound and I had to redo it of course. Some years ago I found Walter Carlos album of music from Clockwork Orange and I listened to it but I thought that Walter/Wendy was playing the classical music on his/her moog synthesizer even faster than usual … it was not until I had played the whole side A when I realised that I had played the record at 45 rpm. As you mention in the video, with electronic music, you may not always realise immediately when the speed is off. Cheers! Björn.

Thank you so much for making these vids. I bought a 78 a few months ago, and if it weren't for your vids I would have played it on my b&o cartridge.

By playing 45 rpm vinyl at 33 rpm +8% pitch in the late 80's, an new music genre was born in the Belgian Disco's, called New Beat. A great example is the track A split second - Flesh. It gave it a new dimension, slightly heavier bass etc.

I would consider New Beat to be the label, R&S Records. Great stuff...

The Grado 78E is a great all-round 78 rpm cartridge. The Nagaoka MP-series has a complete range of plug-in styli: 1.0 mil for mono LP's and 45's, and 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0 mil for newer vs. older/more worn 78's.

Thank you so much! Helped a lot.

My mum always said playing records at the wrong speed would wreck my player but I never believed it. All that would happen is that the stylus would read the sound data at a different speed and the sound would change accordingly. Thanks for proving a very important point.

Simple to understand and to the point, awesome

I played my 45 of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells the theme from the excorsist and played it at 33 man it sounded creepy. I have a tape player with adjustable recording speed and I play tapes at different speeds. TB sounded so different at my slowest speed. Love it

I like to play my tame impala 45's at 33 1/3, especially "powerlines" and "list of people to try to forget about". I feel like the slow version is a secret bonus song you only get to hear if you have it on a 45. I actually only discovered it by forgetting to change the speed to 45, but I liked the song that way and every once in a while that's how I want to hear it.

Honestly I love playing records at the wrong speed you can make speed metal sound like Stoner metal and you can make super fast Ska music sound like reggae definitely works best with stuff without vocals but it's still a lot of fun

Nash the Slash put out his "Decomposing" EP in 1981 which was intended to be played at all 3 speeds.

As someone who recently started collecting records, I actually experiment with the different speeds from time to time, and I find that _A Taste of Honey_ by the Mexicali Brass band sounds better at 45 than 33, since the music sounds much more lively and upbeat. I also use the 78 setting to brush my records by just holding the brush in place while the record spins.

When I was younger, I used to have an old Zenith portable 4-speed record player. The player had an extra setting marked "R" and that would sort of put the turntable into neutral. I used to play my records at the various speeds and I would get a good laugh out of it. I also played my 45's without using the adapter for the hole and place the records off center and let 'er rip and it made it sound weird (as in drug-trip weird). When I put the speed lever on "R", I could then start playing the records backwards by moving it around the turntable manually with my finger.

Jaret...this is a cool "new" video :P Love it!

Two very good points of personal privilege: First, have a Canadian-made 78 of "The Chipmunk Song", and it appears that if played at 33 1/3, you'll hear what is closer to David Seville's actual voice! Second, also have a clear-vinyl 12" single of Herb Alpert's #1 hit "Rise", which is pressed at 33 1/3, but in 'The Billboard Book of Number One Hits', there's an anecdote about some club DJs were inadvertently playing it at 45 RPM, which made for a, uh, considerably faster Beats Per Minute count than Herb imagined!! This was certainly one of the more interesting videos from this page!

I use to love playing records at the wrong speed when i was a kid. Playing albums at 45, and singles at 33. As an adult now tho, im not keen on listening to singles at 33 anymore, but songs i really like from albums, i like playing at 45 and recording a copy of it.

On many cartridges, you can simply swap the stylus with the 78 version instead of using a totally separate cartridge for 78s.

Will you ever make more cassete vids? These vids are what got me into your channal and vinyl!

I have a Pro-ject Turntable, so it's easy to forget you've changed the speed. On top of that, I often play instrumental Jazz. I must confess, sometimes, especially with some of the avant garde stuff, if goes unnoticed for a song or two.

Barry White at slow motion! I lost it hahahahaha!

Great video thanks

You have my curiosity now. It looks like speeding the record up would cause damage because with the beat and sounds closer together at higher speeds, wouldn't you also add more friction on the stylus and record? If so, it sounds like both the stylus and the record would wear faster.

I have Toto IV on vinyl and I like the way the song good for you sounds at 16 rpms.

When I was a kid and records were the top format we used to play around with the speed all the time. When you are ten years old stuff like that was funny as hell. I had a record player that also played at 16RPM.

The only thing I find lately is that some new presses that are made on double LP's and made for 45 rpm's actually has no printed information at all about this, neither on the sleeve nor the label. I think the album "Fever Daydream" by "Black Queen" was one example where I found that out as soon as the singing began, and that was quite a bit into the record... :)

Related topic you may want to discuss at some point: the pitch control slider, which allows for more subtle changes in platter speed (probably most useful for DJs).

And let's not forget that some 78 rpm records were made out of vinyl. I own in my collection 4 promotional singles from RCA Victor that were made out of vinyl in the 50s. They have white labels that read: "RCA VICTOR / RECORD PREVUE / DISC JOCKEY SAMPLE / NOT FOR SALE. / USE 1 MIL NEEDLE." All 4 are 10" discs. They are in Near Mint condition. Not all of them have the 1 Mil Needle notation, but they are vinyl. Also, a couple are missing from Discogs. There is a company called Rivermont Records that still presses vinyl 78s, using colored vinyl yet!

A light pitching on the manual slide is always great for sometimes find the right flow for a song.. sonetimes a song needs more drive and energy, so pitch them up a bit.. and if the songs needs more rawness and a slower pace, just pitch it a little down. For djs itz a normal way to play Records, especially if your doin a mix.. itz needed.

This made Cheech and Chong records funny all over again

Elvis's "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" 45 rpm sounds awesome at 33 1/3.

Hi Jarret. Is the audio technica lp3 a good starter for entering into turntables. If not please suggest one. Regards from India..

I like messing about with the pitch control slider to slow down or speed up a record a bit.

I remember listening to records and how the different speeds affected how the album sounded growing up in the 1980's. These days I would like to share with my kids what records were like versus the computerized apps these days.

i admit i have had times where i went to play a record and didn't realize i had it set on the wrong speed till i started playing it hahaha

The pitch control comes in handy when some songs are too slow or too quick.

I have a 12in that plays at 45 rpm. Often I forget about setting the right speed and when I do I’m always surprised by the sound.

Guess what the RCA Select-A-Vision was a record player that played vinyl discs with a aluminium foil with a video signal recorded into it and was played at a very fast speed.

I Always play my record on native speed, but i have a funny question for you related to this,there is 3 speeds on turntables we know are standard 33 -45 and 78,how about multiply 33 and 45 together? The answer wil be 78-right-So i wonder-hal come the 78 is around the subject all the time when it comes to speeds on tunrtables either way, if you multiply or just playin a 78 record ? Is this a number a very planned ,or is it just a coincident?

So here's a thing: There was this Belgian electro-funk band called Future that released a single in 1981 called "I Can't Read Your Mind." Frankly, it's very pedestrian electro-funk and passably pleasant at the 45 RPM speed the 12" single was meant to be played at. HOWEVER, played at 33 1/3, the tune turns into this massively awesome, thick, P-Funk like jam that is WAY better than the original! Check it out if you get the chance.

Funny thing is: I bought "The Dark Side of the Moon" wich I never ever heard before. I liked the first title Breathe espacially for the voice that sounded like a women. Till I recognized I forgot to change the speed back to 33 1/3 rpm after listen to a 7' record. -.-

Played Led Zeppelin LP on 45rmp, sounded weird but it's led zep, so I was thinking maybe it's just the song that sounds pitched, but it continued with Kashmir and I understood my mistake

Well that's nice. Got a 45 rpm album added to my collection of 2 33 rpm albums. Being the overly protective guy that i am when it comes to fragile stuff, it's better to ask than to try it out. Just gotta figure out how to change between rpm's on my record player...

Changing speeds on a record player involves either pressing button(s) or flipping a lever back and forth between the speed settings. Every record player has one or the other.

Man I used to love screwing around with the speed switch. Still do sometimes

I have a record called "Environments" on Atlantic Records that was made to be played at 3 different speeds (16, 33, and 45) depending on your taste or purpose. One side is ocean sounds, side 2 are bird sounds. 33 is the 'natural speed, so that's what I usually use.

Watching this video has just reminded me of something I did years ago. When I was a kid I had a couple of those Father Abraham and the Smurfs 45's on the Decca label, one of them was called Dippety Day and just for a laugh I played it at 78 speed. It was so funny. It was interesting hearing that McDonald's record at fast speed, especially when it was switched to 78 rpm, that made me laugh 😂

A while back I was reading a biography of Sting (The Police) and in the said biography he goes on about how he would listen to records at a different speed (I forget which speed), he did this because it was much better for him to hear and learn the basslines on songs which means he could easily copy them by listening to vinyl at a different speed.

I do your test speed when I was a child. It was fun thing to do with your record player. ☺

i have a 12” 45 that i played on 33 1/3 when i first got it (i found it in the discount bin and had never heard of the band before) so when i started playing it i assumed that the guy just had a really low voice and that it was supposed to be slow. i found out it was different when i finally decided to listen to it on spotify and i was so used to it slowed down that i didn’t even like it. now i just listen to it in the way that i’m used to...

I am so happy to see Nick Cave get some love. Underrated musician and bona fide legend. Also great video.

Also interesting is playing a 33 1/3 rpm record on 16 2/3. But that'll only work on REALLY old turntables, like the one I still have ;) (1965 Thorens)

There are a few records that were meant to be played at different speeds. Third Stone From The Sun on Jimi Hendrix's first album is one I can think of. Brian Eno's Music For Airports Vol. 1 is another.

Hi Jarrett song of the day? So what by Miles Davis. Thanks

Here's an interesting bit of trivia for you. The entire genre of Newbeat was created by a belgian DJ doing this by accident. He accidently played Flesh by A Split Second at 33 rpm instead of 45, and this created a new genre. A more mellow and slower version of EBM. There's videos on youtube of this song being played at 33.

I always found playing Charlie Drake's My Boomerang Won't Come Back on 78 rpm was funny especially the plane crash part.

Can the headshell affect the sound of the music? And do different headshells sound better? So for example if you had a $15 and a $50 headshell will there be a difference in sound if you used the same needle?

What will happen when you play records at different speeds? Make it hard for the copyright police of course! Also when the McDonald’s record was played at 78 it was so fast the stylus was jumping and mis-tracking 😆.

I used to do this as a child to make me laugh with my mom and dads records. I used to play a 45 at 16 as my brother had a 4 speed record player from the late 50s or a 33 at 78

I (personally) would play the 78RPM records with an original machine.

When I directed the music for a local revue theater company decades ago, we took advantage of the 33->45 pitch & speed change (and I credit my theatrical director A.T. for the idea). Using the Sweet Charity song, Big Spender, originally a song by adult hookers to their johns, we used the faster, higher version for some "babies" in a nursery to sing to their "baby johns." The sexual connotation of the original was transformed, on stage, into an innocent anthem.

I did this on my Fisher Price record player. it didn't take me long to figure out what speed to play it on. I am glad I didn't try to play any 78 records on it.

i have that same tool record! really hoping for aenima and 10000 days represses soon

Red Right Hand. A really cool song!!!

0:58 Ooh, is this the part where you go on your triple shot of espresso break?

Hi not speed related but what's best a linear tracking record player or the standard arm type ?

So I was messing around with a record player that isn’t working and some records I don’t really care about, the acoustic song that the needle was making was loud enough and by turning the record manually I could play at any speed I wanted including reverse. The sound was obviously terrible but it was quite fun.

When my sons started elementary school they hated getting up in the morning. As a threat, I warned them the punishment would be endless showing s of the incredibly bad movie SNL's "It's Pat". When that got worn out, I introduced them to the MGM Records 45rpm flip side of "Purple People Eater" by Sheb Wooley PLAYED AT 33 1/3rpm. The song is called "I Can't Believe You're Mine". Again a 45 playing at LP speed with max volume. It is beyond awful. A few rise and shine playings of that musical nightmare and they were never late for school again 😁

That's actually fun. You can't really do this without any special programs. Digital can not be adjusted that easily.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT LATERALUS PICTURE DISC

@Vinyl Eyezz Will A Diamond Stylus work with 78rpm records? Meaning will it destroy the needle

When i got my first 45RPM 12" maxi-single i tried to play it on 33 as every "big" records. When the music started, i was like "Dude, WTF..."

you should try hearing PRINCE feel you up 12" at the bottom speed cuz the drums & arrangement sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE.......

Cool song of the day should be people vultures by king gizzard and the lizard wizard!!! Check them out they're crazy both with their vinyl releases and their music!! Also I got this split record by iron Regan and gatecreeper although it's a 12" it plays at 45 RPM's so I played it at 33 1/3 RPM's and it sounds hella good and doomy on the gate creeper side.
