This year came very interesting one-sided vinyl Veli-Matti O Äijälä: Raskas Taakka. In the label it is said it´s 33 rpm. But because Läjä´s talking with the music sounded like there were too little rpm:s, I tried it also 45rpm. And it really worked both ways! In the 45:s you can hear lyrics much better (the´re very interesting, because the whole album tells about dying, there´s nothing fantasy in it, it is kind of what´s the realism when you´re dying). But maybe music sounds better in 33rpm.
The other album I have listened both ways is P.J. Harveys White Chalk. There was no rpm:s in the label, so I naturally put it 33rpm. It was almost the end of the album when I realised it should be played 45rpm:s. I think it also worked it both ways and soon in the future I will listen it again 33rpm, because last time I listened it 45:s.
