GUEST,j.m. robert johnson slowed down (24) robert johnson slowed down 27 Jun 05

I've just read an article suggesting Robert Johnson recordings are played too fast. The original recordings might have been up to 20% too quick. Various reasons were given including innacurate recording equipment but one implied it was done deliberately to make Johnson sound younger and more upbeat than his real delta sound. There is a cd on the market with 24 tracks slowed by 20%...............any views on this ?
