Lemon: Freak On (12-inch single, Salsoul Records SG 2068, released 1978, A and B sides)

It's 12-inch Tuesday! This contains both the A- and B-sides of the Lemon "Freak On" 12-inch single. While the labels do not specify it, the A-side is a vocal version not on Lemon's self-titled album, and the B-side is instrumental (most likely the album version). The record was pressed on translucent yellow vinyl. Track List --------------- Freak On (vocal) Freak On (instrumental) Digitizing this record took a little trickery. The edge has a "pinch" warp that makes it difficult if not impossible to track. Playing it at 33⅓ RPM and slowing that down 16%, I recorded it at a 96,000 Hz sampling rate. Doing the math, if I raised the sampling rate to 154,286 Hz, the resulting file should play at the original 45 RPM speed and pitch, which it does. (It was resampled back down to 96,000 Hz.)
