Anomalies/ blunders during a recording

[swamppirate]

Interesting enough topic...What have you discovered?

At the beginning of The Police's monster 1978 single Roxanne, someone - Sting, most likely - sits on a piano, causes a random atonal crash of keys and laughs.

Toto?

I thought he was trying to be a real reggae guy. False start at 2:15:

On Second Winter by Johnny Winter just before the music kicks in on Memory Pain you can hear someone cough. I use this song to adjust my azimuth on my cartridge.

 

[swamppirate]

Another cough.....

Bonzo at the end.........

You can hear Merry Clayton’s voice crack at about 2:59. The intensity/strain of the song was believed to have caused her to miscarriage....sad for such a classic song.

Bonzo at the end ...

More Bonzo -- the squeaking of his overworked Ludwig Speed Pedal on "Since I've Been Loving You".

Dog Barking during intro.....are they supposed to be there?

 

[swamppirate]

Gilmour and more coughing at @ 43/44 seconds....

Someone's beeper going off during Derek Bailey's "Aida".

2:58 into "Hey Jude" by the Beatles - Paul drops an F-bomb after hitting a sour note on the piano.

 

[Beatnik]

Nugent/Cat Scratch Fever drum snares break at the very end.

Poor vocal double tracking on "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood. It's good thru most of the tune, but bad in one specific place. Back in the day, I brought it to my buddy's attention, and he later said that ruined the song for him. Not ruined in my eyes, though -- just a goof. One of those things it would have taken 3 minutes to fix during the session, though. Or 'cut and paste' with current equipment.

Geddy Lee in the Camera Eye

 

[Djcoolray]

I hear artists moving about and bumping things on many albums....

 

[loopstick]

Robert Plant sounds like he's got some pre-echo tape artifact in Whole Lotta Love.

Always wondered if this was a gaff or how it was originally meant to be. Thinking we are missing some part of the story of this recording. John Mayall -Good Looking Stranger.

Going back a ways here ... Toscanini was noted for making all sorts of noises during live recordings, including humming along with the music ...

My favorite recent example was Alabama Shakes Hold On from the first album, where they blew a bass amp towards the end and just kept on truckin' as it slowly died ...

Maybe that's where Keith Jarrett learned it.
