Posts in chronological order
Judging from the thread which prompted Van Basten9 to create this one, I think he means mistakes in performance. Am I right!?
Mistakes on drums: Some things at the end of The Hitman.
Mistakes on percussion: One of the clicks in Killer Queen is off-beat; the timpano on the second 'Bismilah' comes a bit late.
Mistakes on bass: A couple of notes in Sidewalk, Prophet's Song and Brighton Rock.
Mistakes on guitars: Fat Bots (dissonant G/F chord at the beginning of the break), a small part near the end of Breakthru, a couple of notes during the wah-wah part in Great King Rat, an odd note in one of the Rhapsody rhythm tracks (covered by the other instruments + vocals).
Mistakes on piano: A glitch during Lap of the Gods; on that particular song there's a bit where LH-P and bass do an unison descending scale, one of them (don't remember which one) plays the wrong notes (they did it right when on stage so it wasn't an intentional dissonance). Some of the Flash vamps are a bit off in terms of rhythm (very briefly though).
Mistakes on vocals: Some off-pitch notes in Sweet Lady (lead track, cleverly covered by a huge layer of harmonies) and Cool Cat. The bass-voice in Bo Rhap is also a bit off sometimes (not as much as the outtakes but still).
Mistakes on synths: Using them.

Nice.
Isn't it time for someone to take a shot at Hot Space yet?
Yea on Killer Queen,the five finger clicks at the start should really have been three.
Now I'm Here. Freddies timing singing Think I'll Stay around around around.... is off. Sounds like 'Think I'll stay around around around aroundaround around.'
The echo at the start of Tenement Funster is too prominent. (Been amazes the people next door) But thats just opinion.

What makes you say that?
On the Live Killers CD's, on Biccyle Race there is a noise that isn't there on the vinyl version. It's like a crack where Freddie sings 'You say black, I say white'..... anyone else noticed this?
Also, I bought the Hollywood Records version of Shear Heart Attack back in 1992, or whenever it was released with the others. It had the added remix of Stone Cold Crazy..... on my copy the remix is the original version of Stone Cold Crazy, not the remixed version.

Body Language was accidentally put on Hot Space.
I wondered how long it would take someone... ;)
Can I add to that, "She Make's Me (dull boring song in stilettos)".

Because the song appears to be played in 4/4 timing.So Freddie's vocals should come in on the fourth beat

For that matter, perhaps there should've been seven clicks. Or eleven. Or fifteen...or...
:P
Nice topic!
Am I the only one to hear a "little drum noise" during the first verse of "Good Company"?
during the line
"Don't fool with fools
who'll turn away"
cheers

On Classic Queen, there is a big chunk of the miracle missing and it sounds like very bad editing
The beep in Drowse.
During Freddie's vocal improvisation as part of The Prophet's Song, an instrument can be heard repeating the same pattern as Freddie's voice. To me it sounds like a (bass) guitar.
