I get the impression that they desperately wanted to put
two LPs on one CD and went "hey, if we speed this thing up a bit,

but then, why else would he ruin the album like that.

I think if it wasn't an intentional artistic statement he would've done the syndicated television program thing and just barely speed things up just enough mostly retain the original pitch.
