You can tell those because if you play your guitar or piano along with them, it won't be in tune. Stevie's songs we're usually all over 6 minutes. Yikes!!

Ah yes, though unrelated, I noticed this on a remastered version of a Camel album (funnily enough titled "Mirage") where they included the original speed version of "Lady Fantasy" as a bonus track as well as the faster "finished" version.
I used to notice slight speed differences in some turntables I used to have too (one would play a little faster on 33 than it would on 33 on another, first noticed this listening to songs on the radio after getting an album so this does add up now). Wish I could find an mp3 editor that works with Vista so I can play with the speeds of the FM tracks some more!
