Happened to hear Call Me by Blondie on the radio yesterday.
I thought, that's pretty fast.
I counted and made 144 beats/minute.
Officialdom has it at 143.
Billie Elish's Bad Guy is 120.
I looked up the fastest song ever.
Released on label, Moby - Thousand.
1015 BPM!
I'm listening to it next - wish me luck😂

Moby's Thousand was fortunately only 1015 BPM a couple of times.
Was quite slow and then got faster and faster to hit the target😱
Pretty bad really!
A tortured female vocal to boot - would have Mike running for the hills😂

This still sounds great, and as somebody pointed out recently, no autotune, just talent and musicianship.

Goodby Yellow Brick Road : Elton John. Double vinyl LP in multi gatefold sleeve. Recorded May 1973 at Château d'Hérouville France, Remixed & Overdubbed at Trident London. Producer Gus Dudgeon. Engineer David Hentschel. Released 5th october 1973 on DJM. This is yet another album sequestered by me from my wife when we married, this was supposed to be a single LP but the highly conducive atmosphere at the Château d'Hérouville spurred a whole other LP the 17 tracks gave rise to 5 big hits including "Candle in the Wind" "Bennie and the Jets", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" & "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding". I have not listened to this album for several years & like all that I play the copper foil & Stack Audio Auvas in their various forms, really they have given me a new record collection. This album today from the ethereal opening notes of "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding". was mesmerising, a few tracks like "Jamaica Jerk Off" had not worked for me before, today, something clicked. There are some semi uncredited vocal inserts on "Jamaica Jerk-Off" are credited to Prince Rhino, Reggae Dwight and Toots Taupin, possibly a pseudonym for Elton John and Bernie Taupin, though this is uncertain, drum machine castanets on "Funeral for a Friend", shaker on "I've Seen That Movie Too", tambourine on "Social Disease", accordion, vibraphone on "Sweet Painted Lady" With this Bernie Taupin/Elton John penned, album, with the musicianship of of the like's of Nigel Olsson & background singing of Kiki Dee & of course Elton John & piano the result is nothing short of a masterpiece, receiving an incredible number of plaudits from inclusion in the Grammy Hall of Fame, also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. This is his 7th & biggest selling studio album. After waxing so lyrical, I must highly recommend this album.   |

Thanks. That's a bit like being pummelled by a pneumatic drill while sat on the sofa. |

White Feather : Kagagoogoo vinyl LP. Recorded 1982-1983 at Chipping Norton & Utopia London. Released April 1983 on E.M.I . Producers Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran) Coin Thurston,Tim Palmer & Kagagoogoo. When I was walking the streets I remember one day at about mid day Kagagoogoo leaving a recording studio behind Olympia London to check that the parents of all of the teenies outside knew they were there, one young girl from the West Midlands with older friends had spent all of her money on a single ticket, the boys provided autographs then gave her cash to buy a ticket & put her & her friends in a paid for black cab to the relevant rail station. When I spoke to the boys apparently this was their normal practise to do this check. I was so impressed with the boys I bought White Feathers their latest LP . Not played for a decade or two at least spurred on by A post on another forum mentioning Kagagoogoo. This is the one Kagagoogoo LP featuring "Limahl" as the lead singer he is very good, the whole thing is a surprisingly good album, I have read there is renewed interest in the band I'm not surprised well sung good instrumentation well recorded/produced & despite being a thin vinyl record (almost Dynawarp, crap Dynaflex LP's) the sound is very good since my very clean with good bass. I have actually loved it as I have every LP have played since adding Stack Audio Auvas to my system I have written I have a new record collection, indisputably since I could not remember this album. however the others I have,I am reminded why I bought them. Not dated in the 40 plus years since recording really worth a listen.  |

Talking Book : Stevie Wonder. Vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve. Recorded May-July 1972 studio's Electric Lady, New York City, Crystal Sound, Hollywood, Record Plant Los Angeles, AIR London. Producer's Stevie Wonder, Robert Margouleff & Malcomb Cecil. Recording engineer Austin Godsey, Joan Decola – recording. Mastering George Marino. Released October 27th 1972 on Tamla (Tamla Motown subsidiary). This was Stevie Wonder's 15th studio album that I bought in late 1972 it is an album that I know so well last played after fitting Auva 50's to my OTA Quad 57 Rupert stands, listening today with Auva 100's under the stands a change has been wrought the album has greater background detail like brushed cymbals & cymbal rings but is so relaxed & the bass is deep & tiered ie there are multiple note's not just a monotone bass, Stevie Wonder's voice is also more textured as are the backing vocalists Lani Groves, Gloria Barley, Debra Wilson, Shirley Brewer & Delores Harvin. The synth's & piano sound is so well recorded, the guitars are magical with Jeff Beck & Jim Gilstrap. With a line up like this explains the critical acclaim the album has received included in so many lists of the best. Obviously recommended highly Talking Book represents the transition from little Stevie Wonder the protégé in to an adult established artist. I borrowed the following quote "Speaking of the album in 2000, Wonder said: "It wasn't so much that I wanted to say anything except where I wanted to just express various many things that I felt—the political point of view that I have, the social point of view that I have, the passions, emotion and love that I felt, compassion, the fun of love that I felt, the whole thing in the beginning with a joyful love and then the pain of love. " "  |

Oddly enough I thought of GT and then forgot to add to the playlist
Will do now
Notes from a few years back say not as good as Bajofondo. That may change
