Had a bit of a problem before I worked out that the speeds were varied. Kept thinking: I must have touched the speed selector by mistake :confused2: anyway, sussed it out after the third one.

Haven't heard anyone about mislabelling yet? My BLT/Jetsteam/Shellshock/Thieves like Us has an incorrect label on the B side. Unique then?

Hey G, what is the misprint? the same label as side a?

Hi there,

Sorry to answer the intial query this late, but i'm only catchin' up now. So, yes the 12x12" are pressed on 180g. Audiophile (normally). Second, no it's not that uncommon (for the young ones) to have different speed from side A to side B on some vinyls, i have quite some from my frantic '8o's years, and to mention some NewOrder... Best regards

The clue is in the name of the deck. Linn Sondek LP12. One of my friends only recently got a Lingo and previously there were certain LPs that for some reason were doubles and played at 45 so he had to return them to HMV cos he couldn't play them.

The Lingo isn't just for playing at 45 as well as 33, it's a huge upgrade in sound quality and a much better power supply than the Valhalla, giving good clean constant current. The Naim Armageddon is the alternative power supply but that only plays at 33.Which is a bit silly really.

no, it's actually the Jetstream Jacques Lu Cont label that's on it.
