Like on my madman across the water, tiny dancer is in C# not C and Im pretty sure that song is always played in C on CDs. Stuff like this has happened with other songs on records. I dont think they are different versions of the songs because all the singers inflections are the same except in a different key. Could this have something to do with like technology or something??

It's all in the 'pitch' of the record; specifically the player being used to play the record. Even though they all play 33 1/3, depending on the quality of your turntable, the pitch may be off just slightly. Some turntables (and all dj turntables) have a 'pitch' leveler you can use to slightly speed up or down the turntable, so that the song plays correctly. Only certain dj cd mixers allow for pitch adjustment when playing cds though, so it's easier pitching vinyl. If your turntable has a pitch control, just move it to the left or right until the 'glass mirrored specks' all seem to stop circulating. This will be the preferred pitch for any given record. :)

It could be from a mistake in the mastering process...I know that happened with Miles Davis's Kind of Blue album. Somehow the old records and CD's are one half-step lower than they should be...it's been corrected on the latest versions of the CD. The Miles recording is the only example I have ever heard of but maybe it happened on Madmen too.
