In Reply to: KOB 200g Speed-corrected Classic reissue? posted by BatNastard on May 12, 2007 at 15:26:02:
I think it was just side A that was a quarter tone too sharp because of a problem that caused the tape machine to run slow during the recording of that session. I also think Columbia did release a corrected speed copy a couple of years before Classic did.
Classic first did a two LP release with side A at the original speed and also at the corrected speed, then a single LP at correct speed.
I have the Classic four LP single sided 45 of KOB too and it’s the one I pull out if someone really likes the album. To me it’s the best of all of them.

we assume. Ampex engineers at the time said had farmed out the capstan motors and were aware of the problem and shipping 30th street replacement 300's in a matter of days. The assumption is that miles heard it and liked it the way it was even though they could have fixed the speed.

thus making it a quarter-speed too slow on vinyl? Not that it much matters, I guess, right is right. I think that 45 version is pretty rare now...I bet it's great.
