Wrong record speed?[edit]

The 37-minute time figure is a bit high, because the record would have to be playing at 45-rpm speed, and Bill Cosby would sound like a chipmunk as an undesirable side-effect from this. The Compact Cassette format plays at a nominal rate of 1⅞ ips--another reason the time figure may be skewed. I once burned an audio CD using the Compact Cassette copy of this record and contrary to what's being shown in the article, some tracks are longer than what they appear now, for instance, for Noah: Right! showing a time of 2 minutes and 5 seconds; I'm seeing 3 minutes and 37 seconds for this track. (Margin of error is ± 5%.)
