One of the things I do is live sounds where I record it and then either give the individual raw tracks to the client, or do the mix. Some are really good, others perhaps need a little er, help - waht I mean is maybe a few bum notes on the bass fixed, or maybe even tuning on some of the lead and BV vocals. Sometimes the 'fix' involves one of the musicians who played doing a bit of overdubbing and once completely redoing it because a nasty hum left the guitar useless.
However, in all my years I have only had one where it was so flawed there was no hope of fixing it. I have just found the recording, all tracks intact, despite being elderly. They were a chart band from the 70s, and while I daren't share the two or three 'hits' I could probably find the odd 30 seconds that might not point out who they were? The voice, I firmly believe is unrepairable.
If anyone has similar recordings, I'' kick the ball off with mine. We need to be a bit careful I think, but we often share good stuff, but sometimes the bad would make us feel we are not alone!
