Scholar Ainslie asks if anyone is suggesting the great Louis Armstrong has been also scrutinized for speeding up his recordings. Well-not just maybe-but the engineers absolutely say those recordings were speeded up-as they were recorded from one methodology to another. I know nothing of the actual events and everyone on here knows more blues than I ever have-but research is fun-and this is not a prank or amateur musicologist link. Sure-maybe a claim to sell a new set-but they could have easily recorded and released as originally recorded.
