Mistakes on classic records

[NickD]

The whole of Coldplay's output is a mistake.

I saw this and thought of you; Coldplay’s Guy Berryman – the secret car collector.

He's got good taste in cars, if not in music.

Oasis-Be Here Now.

WHERE IS THE BASS?

Had to work with the Gallaghers so the bassist walked out?

I heard Noel was going to remaster and re release the album so you could hear the bass but something something ego or something.

He did for D'you know what I mean... You can find it on you tube (NG rethink).

Before I heard the rethink, I thought the bassist was in another room sniffin cocaine while Noel Gallagher was in the recording room sniffin cocaine...

I know you like FSOL, did you ever see this? Amorphous Androgynous on Noel Gallagher: ‘He was too afraid to be weird’

It's funny that the best (or not 100% terrible) thing I ever heard from Oasis was this; Oasis - Falling Down (A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Mix) Amorphous Androgynous (even has a Julian House sleeve). Shame the singing totally ruins it.

Personnally, I like the singing on the songs, but I would prefer Liam voice on it... But yeah, you know, I am a Oasis fan

In Satisfaction Keith is all over the place when he has the fuzzbox on or off

Not sure how true the story is, but that's probably because the fuzzbox parts were kind of just scratch takes as they were to be replaced with brass later, right? I've always loved that recording, always felt more alive as a result.

Agreed. I only have Coldplay's first album, Parachutes, but I always figured, other than the singer, that they're all probably fairly decent guys.

One of my favorite cuts of all time is The Creation's Making Time, and the bass changes key a bar early in the middle of the bowed guitar solo. That always snags my ear, even after hearing it hundreds of times. More importantly, though, it makes me think of how many cuts from the '60s and '70s suffer from out-of-tune basses. I thought for a bit that maybe Shel Talmy used to keep a bass with a busted E tuner around and force all his bands to record with it. Why didn't rockers get the damn bass tuned up before rolling tape?!

Toward the end of The Beatles Day Tripper, there's a really ugly punch in (dropout) of the lead guitar. I think they fixed it in recent rereleases.

There's a bum note un the beginning of Hang Down Your Head, off Tom Waits' Rain Dogs.

Knowing Tom, it might have been on purpose or left in for effect though.

I've always assumed it was because it wouldn't have mattered on a mono single; it only became really noticeable when it got issued on stereo and one side of the field disappeared completely for half a second.

Yeah that kind of stuff happens a lot on old mono stuff that's been sloppily stereofied. There's a vocal track in the left channel (iirc) on eleanor rigby that gets in a syllable of the first verse before conspicuously vanishing from the mix.

You are probably correct.
