Speed Trials

When you have a minute, take a look at this picture (be quick; it will have changed to something else by next Monday).

On close inspection, it seems to indicate that it is designed to play at 32 1/3 rpm. Is that why Dylan's voice doesn't quite sound like anybody else's?

I checked my own copy, but sadly it is a crappy 1980s CBS reissue and is silent on the point.
