Seems like it to me...

I'm trying to think of when I ever actually ran across anything that would
require that speed,  and there weren't many.  About the only one I can
remember was this "floppy" record that came in a book (and is
still in there as far as I know).

It's funny,  the way things seem to just disappear.  I can remember lots
and lots of turntables that had four speeds,  and now if you can find one
at all they just have two,  maybe.  Of course the whole thing of vinyl
going away like it did kinda caught me by surprise,  anyway.
