Llllllaaaaallllllloooooo

I put the 45 rpm single of the Lalo Schifrin soundtrack to Che! down on my record player, but forgot to switch to 45 rpm. I think it actually sounded better on 33 1/3 rpm. Listen for yourself. Of course you'll want to compare it to the original, which can find on the internet, I'm sure.



I haven't heard much Lalo Schifrin. Or well, I haven't listened to very much Lalo Schifrin—as in given a concentrated listen to something I chose to hear. We've all heard him, extensively probably. After all, he did write the Mission Impossible theme song, as well as other notable tunes.

It's been almost a year and a half since the last time I posted to this blag; two years since a post of any real substance. Finding time's not so easy. Actually, that's not true. Finding time when I'm not tired or wouldn't prefer just completely vegetating— that's not easy. But I've been buying strange records that have never been and never will be on CD, nor reissued on LP; many of them I don't expect to ever see in a shop ever again. And I plan to resume transferring them to my computer and posting them.

This isn't one of them. You can find the Che! soundtrack easily, probably on CD even. Though, slowing the CD down isn't as simple.
