Yah thats the main one I always notice...[/QUOTE]
I think it's "ohh" or "four" like someone said, it has something to do with delays or something like that.

Hahahaha... now that's funny!
I do like most of Hot Space (not to the extent that I like the early and last few Queen albums), but that was just hilarious.

Just so everyone knows, my comment was meant for a laugh. I don't hate Hot Space, but it is the easiest Queen album to pick on.
As for the "mistake" on WWRY, I always thought that was Brian saying 'ahhhh...', but regardless I think it is one of those human moments in records that make it special, and Queen was great at leaving that kind of stuff in the final recordings. Too much polish makes a recording stale. I also always loved the way that Freddie vocally and Brian on guitar would hit notes a little late or early. That always made things much more emotional to me as opposed to hitting everything right on the beat on like, say, oh I don't know... Hot Space! ;)

I've mentioned this on other "Mistake" threads...
On Don't Try Suicide, during the "don't do it, don't do it..." part, Freddie yealls "yeah!". The following "Don't" is not harmonized/doube tracked like all the rest.
Anyway, there you go...it bugs me. I'll get over it.

I don't think tempo changes can be classified as mistakes. It adds something to the human feel of the song
Also I don't think you can call it a mistake when you hear a piano peddle on a recording. You can also hear Freddie's fingers on the keys in LAzing on a Sunday Afternoon.
If you would want only the musical signal and no environment sound you should just use synthesizers.

Very true.
Very true.
There is also that click on The Prophets Song...
Somewhere toward the end of AOBTD, at a spot when Freddie isn't singing you can hear what sounds like Roger shout something that echoes.
There's also a spot toward the end of Radio Ga-Ga where the tape speed wavers for a split second...if I wasn't busy I'd look up the times these happen, might be fun to have a little database :)
As for a couple CD transfer errors that don't get mentioned much:
At the end of Live Killers on CD (the Hollyweird Records version) you can hear what sounds like doors shut at the very end...the old versions from the '70s/80s on record and tape faded out before that.
There's also an annoying gap between WWRY/WATC on CD...the gap wasn't that long on vinyl.

this is for you brian harold may, the brian mistakes i detected( i play guitar too ) are it's kind of magic second solo live at wembley 86, and the show must go on at the freddie mercury tribute second solo, that one was terrible, i mean i screamed stop killing it but still brian is awesome, his voice sucks, on who wants to live forever, i really get pissed off until freddie starts singing, what a voice freddie, you're the man.
mistakes on songs i didnt hear them but.
on mikas grace kelly when he sings:but my looks where to sad i thouth he said: but my boobs where to sad

I'm sure you all noticed it and that's not really a mistake but in You take my breath away, we can very very clearly hear Freddie breathing. I just looooove it. As others said it adds a human feeling to the song.
The funny thing is that Queen were not that perfectionists in the studio according to Brian. But i doubt that they would let wrong notes go by accident. Freddie and Brian were very perfectionists (specially Brian who recorded is guitar note for note during weeks).
Now, that doesn´t mean that they wouldn´t let noises like breathing or other to add that more human or organic feel. But wrong notes?
Take care

I think they knew when they had to just let it go, otherwise they'd be working on the same tracks forever. To remove a click from the middle of a song in the '70s may have meant making a copy of the tape and losing a generation, even if they COULD get the click out; nowadays you just use a spectrum analyzer on a computer to find pops and clicks and remove them instantly.
