I know this probably sounds daft, but a while ago I managed to get a vinyl copy of Good Feeling, which I was pretty excited about. Just got round to listening to it last week and straight away I noticed that the tracks seem somehow faster than they are on CD, 'Happy' in particular absolutely rocks and sounds positively jet propelled compared to how it is on CD.
Why is this?? I'm sure its not a figment of my imagination, and vinyl is in fact faster!
P.S - I'd recommend that anyone who has a turntable get some Travis stuff on vinyl - the sound is so much richer - its faboulous. The harmonies on 'More Than Us' really do come out more on the LP - I've heard the song in a totally new light since listening to the LP version. It wouldn't sound out of place on Abbey Road road or something |

| I don't know about the speed because unfortunately I've got the vinyls and NOT the turntable to play them on. I would love to listen to them but I have to wait for the right time to re-invest in something I threw away years ago!! |

| My turntable seems to need a new band (or whatever it is). When I listen to Ode it seems to slow towards the middle of the album, but singles work ok. |

| I think Ode rocks on vinyl, although the sound on Song To Self and Before You Were Young sounds a lot different to the other tracks I think. I don't know if that's noticable on the CD but tracks like Something Anything & Long Way Down sound a lot more 'live' than others. Maybe its deliberate though? |
