Musicial Faults....
Posted by Karlos on 22 April 2010 - 9:33am.
I was walking into work today with the ipod on listening (for the umpteenth time) to Hickory Wind by The Byrds. I have never noticed it before, but there is a really loud and noticeable cough after the first line of the verse.
I am also aware that the bass drum pedal squeeks all the way through Anna (Go To Him) on The Beatles Please Please Me album. This also took approximately a million listens before I noticed it!
Although these faults were probably overlooked at the time of pressing, It has only added to the mistique of the recording, as opposed to it provoking a negative response.
I was wondering how many other 'mistakes' people have noticed in their favourite (or otherwise) albums.....

Not Sure...
If it counts as a fault as such, but there's the famous (ish) swearing on Hey Jude - only marginally more evident on the new remaster.
Oh yes!
Ir was a delight to discover that 'Fucking Hell'..More so to point it out to others. Many's the tenner I've won in pubs with that one...
My favourite howler is Edge's cacked-up solo during Party girl on the Under a blood Red Sky live album. -'Well, it's our hero!'
In Louie Louie …
by The Kingsmen, there's also an audible 'Fuck!' emanating from the drummer.
John Bonham's
squeaky bass pedal on Since I've Been Loving You.
How much does a can of WD40 cost?

He'd probably only have drunk it
Yellow Submarine
Listen to the acoustic guitar after 'and the band/begins to play...' It's all over the shop.
Making Time by The Creation..
..the bass player changes key towards the end about 2 bars before the rest of the band.
Wendy by The beach Boys
Someone coughs in the middle of the organ solo. Adds to the charm.
There's a website that offers an exhaustive catalogue of fluffs etc. on Fabs records - there's loads of them - but I can't remember what it's called.
That'll be "What goes on"
"exhaustive" doesn't quite cover it...

Mamas & Papas
on 'I Saw Her Again', Denny Doherty comes in too early with the first line of the third chorus
If I Fell
Paul's backing vocal audibly cracks on "was in vain"... It becomes more and more glaringly apparent every time I hear it.
And in Jean Genie, does the Dame admonish the band for not going into the chorus quickly enough? ("Get back on it!")
Too many to count in Neil Young's back catalogue, but I'm sure in Man Needs a Maid there's the sound of someone rustling some sheet music ("While ago somewhere I don't know when [shuffle]...")
And Stipey laughing during Sidewinder Sleeps...
If you listen very carefully
to John Lennon's throatiest "yeeeeeeeah" on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", you hear what sounds like someone's mum yelling at him to keep the noise down immediately afterwards in the background.
And if I remember rightly, I think there's a couple of bum notes and early entries (missus) in "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath.
There's a telephone ringing...
...during Zeppelin's "The Ocean", and Bonham's squeaky bass drum pedal makes a re-appearance
