How about the high-pitched whistle at the start of The Show Must Go On?

I always thought that there was a faint "thud" during Las Palabras: "-This room is bare/This night is [thud] cold" - or thereabouts. I even took the vinyl single back to the record shop for a replacement.

It seems that most mistakes on the records are a fault of production. Don't you think so?

Yea on Killer Queen,the five finger clicks at the start should really have been three.
[/QUOTE]
What makes you say that?
[/QUOTE]
Because the song appears to be played in 4/4 timing.So Freddie's vocals should come in on the fourth beat
[/QUOTE]
For that matter, perhaps there should've been seven clicks. Or eleven. Or fifteen...or...
:P

Actually, shouldn't he have come in on the "and" after 3?

At the end of "The Miracle," the cross-fade from the 'Jam' into the "That time will come, one day well see..." is a little clunky. Listen to the different drum patterns overlap briefly (they're two different recordings mixed together).
Personally, I think the "mistakes," like a cracked voices or misplaced notes add a certain organic charm to the songs and I'm sure Queen were aware of at least some of them. It's possible to sound too perfect on a recording, which can make it sound cold and inhuman. Just my opinion.
The "around aroundaround around.." bit in "Now I'm Here" might just be the echo coming in slightly off.
Talking about mastering errors on releases (as opposed to what the band played in the studio):
There's a 1975 South American release of "Opera" with the swirly bit at the end of Good Company cut out.

The piano on BoRhap sounds to me a bit false/off right before the drums come in.

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
[/QUOTE]
You mean the sound on the "Don't"?
That's just a tom from the drums, I've always assumed it's supposed to be there, no mistake I think.

Heya! Great post. I fully agree!
I think the little mistakes do add warmth to the recordings. Ever since the coming and development of multitracks the experience of musicians performing as a group and having to manage on spot all the interactions, playing each one his own part while constantly taking into account the input brought by the others, has been fading away in studios. What we listen to on the cd is so artificial that it bears little resemblance to a genuine musical meeting or jam. The little gaps at least help reminding us that not everything goes through numerous amendments just like a product flowing down an assembly line.
There are a lot of little mistakes all over their discography. News of The World is my favorite album. Freddie's playing in We Are The Champions is a tad bit clumsy, but who cares!? He goes really out of tune in some of the verses of "My Melancholy Blues", but he sings most of the song so wonderfully and approaches it in such a hard way that the merits and qualities more than offset the shortcomings. It's probably my favorite Queen song after Bo Rhap and We Are The Champions. He does an awful, cracked groan - "ohhww.." - in the "Millionaire Waltz" after the last "come back to me" and before the final line "you make me feel like a millionaire", but his singing throughout the song and, of course, Brian and John's playing are so amazing that I couldn't care less about it!
Most of the times, if not always, the merits overshadow the fumbles, I guess. [b]

(rolls eyes) If you say so.
It's still a clunky edit, but it's only in there for a moment, so I'm not losing sleep over it.

Thank you for the rolling eyes. This thread is about mistakes. Mention things you just don't like if you want.

A deliberate mistake is a still a mistake.
And it was left on a Queen release.
