I came across this accidentally while doing some extensive Orlando
(and some Miami/Detroit) Bass listening.

I'm changing my previous answer, which was Space Age 4 Eva (LP) -
Eightball & MJG, screwed and chopped by Watts and carried by Best Buy
(and other chains) nationally. This was around 2000? I suppose it
might still be the first full LP.

Anyway, the BASS PATROL album, by my unorthodox count, has 2 slowed
joints. One track is 100% straight away the winner, and I'm giving
two additional tracks 1/2 scores for having definite elements of
slowed music.

The sure shot is "Twenty 15's (BP Drag)", off Bass Patrol's Kings of
Bass LP from 1992.

I bet some of you were already up on this, but I'm sitting here like I
just discovered the Dead Sea scrolls or something.

If anyone wants, I need to figure out of Apple tags these acc files
somehow and how to remove, as I bought them on iTunes. Anyone know?

i'd guess that you could get some third party tagging program that could
strip all the tags and then re-add new ones. no idea for sure though, i
don't use itunes at all, really.

would definitely be interested in hearing those tracks though.

and what's detroit bass? not that i know my way around miami bass very
well, but i sort of have an idea what the sound is.

I could google that for you (hey, didn't you once say you worked in tech
support)?...
I never had to do this cos I don't mess with iTunes, but in essence:
If you burn the DRM-protected files as an audio CD, and then rip them
again, the protection is gone. Now unless you were gonna make a physical
CD of them anyway, you can just virtually make a CD (iso image) and then
rip that again into your favourite format.
Or there may be some piece of software that takes care of it, dunno.

that'll degrade the sound quality even more though (lossy -> lossless ->
lossy = lossier than you started with)

unless you leave the CD tracks as lossless files, but then you're taking
up way more space for the same quality just to strip the tags.

I knew I could do that, but double-compression will turn them to shit.

Anyway, Tim S. hooked me up with a link for it that doesn't have my
Apple ID hidden in it somewhere. (I actually don't even know if that's
true)

The question for me at this point is whether or not I even care that it's
there.
