In John Lennon's Working Class Hero, at about 1:25 it sounds like the guitar is changed or someone flubbed up the guitar track.

Not a famous recording (yet!), but this weekend I was tracking my synagogue's cantor for a Bar Mitzvah training tape and there was one "song" which was fairly difficult for her to nail. She finally got a good take, except my little pomeranian decided to walk into the "studio" (4th bedroom in my house) so you hear the "jangle" of his collar pretty clearly right before she started singing. The take sounded so good we decided to leave it in. We're curious to see if anyone notices. A new take on the "key jangle" test for mics and pre-amps! The jangle came in REALLY clearly as the chain was a Soundelux U97 into a Great River MP2 (the original clean pre).

On the first Police album at the start of Roxanne, Sting stumbles back onto the piano, and you can hear someone laugh.
In the Jean Genie, at the end of the fist verse, the bass player, I think it was Tony Visconti drops down too soon into the chorus. You can hear Bowie say 'get back up Tony'
On Physical Graffiti, you can hear the engineer muttering about gettin rid of the aeroplane noise, and Robert Plant says 'Nah leave it'

Van Halen - Everbody wants some. Dave starts singing "The line down the back of their stockings" part too early. At the end of the song during the fade out he says "Look, I'll pay ya for it what the fuck"

Has anyone here heard the song "Question of Temperture" (I think that is how they spelled it on their record) by Balloon Farm......I think the song is from the 60's...I love the song (it seems to be ahead of it's time) but there are sections in the song where the fuzzed-up guitar seems to be playing single notes obviously out of time (but it could have been on purpose)

On "Dream of the Blue Turtles", as the music starts, you hear somebody (I think it's Branford Marsalis) saying "Wait - what key is it in - what key is it in?!".....then they tear it up!!

I'm thinking that this thread would be a whole lot shorter if the topic were "Pro recordings where mistakes can NOT be heard".

Jeff Beck, "Who Else?" CD. Track: Space for the Papa. Beck gets 1/2 measure off toward the end of his solo, pulling the band with him. But they pull it back together and get in time before the break.

well...major labels is subjective here, but on the song "sink florida sink" by against me, someone fucks up the piano outro, and you hear a singer and someone else whisper "sounds good to me" before its even over.

I think that's done on purpose. It's kind of like calling all of the sound effects in Pink Floyd's records "mistakes".

There's this one part on St Anger by Metallica where someone makes noise or something for 70-odd minutes.
Seriously, that album is (intentionally) full of record-o-crap. (did I just coin a new term?) I'll point to the snare rattle during the intro of Some Kind of Monster as the most obvious example. Seriously, this is amateur stuff. Oh, and Nevermind by Nirvana has quite a few anomalies as well. Ahh well.. it's an art, not a science.

Not sure if this was mentioned but the squeek on the kick pedal in Zep's "Since I've been Loving You" is pretty damn loud.

Lots o stuff
Radar Love - The guy is mumbling and stuff in the intro
Blinded by the Light - just listen to it
There's a Zeppelin album where the end of one song kinda just cuts out and the other one starts right away --- I'd know it if I heard it --- Supposedly the engineer was this young kid who ran away from the control room when he found out that he recorded over the end of the song. And also supposedly it was fixed by Jimmy Page, who ended up with the idea of crossfading into the next track ...
Dang if I can remember offhand which tracks tho... Any help here?

I was at my sister's apartment one night, extremely bored, with only her record collection available. I put on a set of headphones and started listening to a Rolling Stones greatest hits disc. In "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," either Keith or Brian (my guess Keith) is playing electric guitar and switching between a clean sound and a fuzz tone with some kind of stomp box. First time through goes without a hitch: "...and I try, and I try, I CAN'T GET NO (nuh-nuh-nuh)..." Second time, though, Keithy gets a little too into the song and misses it. If you listen closely you'll hear the click of the stomp box frantically pressed a couple beats late: "...and I try, and I try, I CAN'T GET NO (- - - - uh-nuh)..." BUT IT GETS BETTER! NOW Keith is ALERT! No way in bloody hell that's going to happen again, mate. So the third time, he stops playing the clean part and hits the stomp box EARLY!!!! And since he can't play the line, he just waits, so you hear this fuzzy hum. "...and I try (stop), and I try (click - bbzzzzz), I CAN'T GET NO (nuh-nuh-nuh)..." Every time I hear this on the radio I crack up. It's great.
