I have a question for some of the experts on the board. When there is a notation of "LP Speed" or "45 version but slower", next to a song in the database, does this mean that it is affecting both the speed AND the pitch?

I ask because there is some notations in the database that reference speed and pitch and some that note just speed. If the speed is off, wouldn't that mean that the pitch is off as well?

I am mostly talking about pre 2000 tracks. I know with modern technology, you can change speed without affecting pitch.

Thanks.

Yes, it means that both speed and pitch are off. In
virtually all cases, it means that a tape or record was
played too fast or too slow, and that affects both speed
and pitch. Tempo, too.
