Are you listening to CD or MP3? Reason I ask is that you I have the CD and it sounds no way like the impression you give.
Tinga Steward definately doesnt sound like some drunk stroke victim slurring his words. I have listened to the sound clip that has been posted and it sounds pretty much the same as the CD version.
Perhaps the issue is more to do with the MP3 download as to me the CD sounds fine. Liner notes are quite nice too, although I heard they read slower on the download
Anyway, I think its a good release and am just happy to have a collection of tracks that were generally not known to me.
I'll just point out for the record that I listened to the clips on Ernie B and the Tinga Stewart definitely does sound like a drunken stroke victim. It sounds like its playing at, I don't know, 23rpm?
I don't think it's a problem with the track being too slow (Smiling Faces), I think it's Tinga singing in a different style. The rhythm track sounds fine, it's just Tinga's vocals that are different. I'm pretty sure the good people at Pressure Sounds would notice if the records were playing at the wrong speed!
Thanks for the info, Jumbo. I actually have the Undisputed Truth album the song is on but I would never had remembered this. Don't think I've listened to it more than once though. From what I remember it was more or less a cover album.
