SUN 261 Plays Too Fast
Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2018 9:07 pm
Just got a nice SUN 261 featuring Carl Perkins playing MATCHBOX and YOUR TRUE LOVE. Pretty hopping tunes, but the YOUR TRUE LOVE side plays way too fast at 78 rpm, like chipmunks. I slowed it down and now it sounds more like Carl Perkins than Alvin. A quick check of YouTube shows this played from a 45, haven't found anything on 78 yet. Even the 45s sound a bit fast, but not as fast as this disc. Here are a couple links with both recordings:
Played at slower than 78 rpm:

Played at 78 rpm:

Here is a link to the flip side, MATCHBOX:

I'm going to post to YouTube shortly with the slower version and a note in the comments describing the slower play.
