proper playback speed for Woodstock boot / web update

Greetings!
Its been a while since I sent anything to this list; I've been busy
with trips to Tahiti, buying my first house and populating it with
kitty kats, so I haven't had as much time to devote to various Who
projects for a while. I recently got a new CD player that can adjust
the playback speed +/- 12% or so. I thought this would be prefect for
the "Starring The Who" bootleg <URL: http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/
who/boots/vinyl.html#70> of the Woodstock concert, which is a little
fast.
Would someone with a more musical ear tell me the proper amount to
adjust the playback speed? I don't know much about musical scales, but
I believe the manual on my player said that a change of 5.9% slowed
down by a "half"? or something like that. If anyone else out there has
done some work to determine the appropriate playback speed of this
boot, I'd really appreciate it! Of course I will annotate the entry in
the bootleg list to reflect the preferred setting.
Which brings me to the subject of the Who material in my webspace;
here are some updates and previews....
Who bootleg web page
<URL: http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/who/boots.html>
I have 150+ messages in my "new bootleg mail" folder! I am
building the bootleg list into a database, which will make it
possible for people to add/expand the database without so much work
from me, you will also get some cooler "features" that will allow
you to search for that perfect boot!
I have bought a nice flatbed scanner recently, so I am scanning
the covers and labels of the various bootlegs that I have. I
am willing to scan the CD inserts for other bootlegs that I
don't have, returning the original back the owner of course!
I wish to thank the many people who have contributed to the
bootleg list and apologize for not being more timely in my
updates; by building a database I think I can make it such
that future submissions make it into the web pages in under a
week.
Who photo gallery

Now that I have a scanner (see above), I will be adding to my
collection of photos soon as well. With the recent Quad touring,
I have snatched a few pictures from other web sites which will
be placed in a separate area in addition to the ones I have
scanned myself.
Live at Leeds reissue index
<URL: http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/who/leeds.html>
This has remained a static list since my initial collection of
serial #'s when the reissue first came out. I'm going to add
a scripted front-end so anyone can register themselves on the
list with their serial number.
... and now for some new projects:
Kids Are Alright insert:
When TKAA came out in 1979, the original double album soundtrack
contained a nice booklet (loaded with pics!) describing the history
of the band up until that point, along with commentary on the songs
included in the soundtrack. I've never seen this included with
the TKAA cd issue by MCA, and as far as I know it never was included
with any cd pressing of the soundtrack. Its a shame as many of
the pics are nice and the commentary isn't bad either. My plan is
to put this entire booklet on-line in a form as closely resembling
the original as possible.
Who Club newsletters
The defunct Who Club from the early 80s put out a number of
newsletters. I have a bunch of them (I was a member at the time;
hi Diane :). Some of them contain little snippets of information
that might be interesting to another fan, but I never had the
energy to transcribe them into the machine. My new scanner has
some pretty decent OCR capabilities, so I might be transcribing
them into the machine in that manner.
