IT ISNT A MISTAKE

A kind of flaw I recall is a pitch bend in a couple of songs.
This happened when a piece of music had to be started at a certain moment in a song, and when they pushed play on the tape, the first half a second it starts from a high pitch and drops down to the normal pitch.
This due to a tape-deck being an analog machine and will not start at a fixed speed.

Hope everyone understands.

I heard this most noticeable in the vocals of the last chorus in Fat Bottomed Girls.

A "deliberately" messy crossfade then? Even by that definition, it's a mistake. A mistake occurs when a party has knowledge and acts by fault directly contrary to that knowledge (running a red light). In this case, whomever made that edit did it poorly (acting with fault contrary to the knowledge of a desired outcome) and the band left it on. It is a mistake.

What mooghead insists is not a mistake stems from his lake of understanding between what is a mistake and what is an error. An error has a broader definition, whereby a party can also act out of ignorance or conflicting information and arrive at a point of inaccuracy or incorrectness.
 
A mistake is a specific kind of error, but not every error is a mistake.




I don't think it qualifies as a mistake,but something I have wanted to know for over 25 years now,is why in the hell are Freddies vocals on In The Lap of the Gods so ****ed up?Whose bone headed idea was that?!
The first time I heard it was on vinyl and I thought my record player had somehow shifted itself to play at 16 speed.
