Because some music albums have mistakes. I mean sometimes the music is recorded wrong and then put on an album anyway. Sometimes it could just be because it is demo.

I can't think of examples right now I'm sure there are some. Does anyone think of any which have mistakes? Mistakes which were recorded as the release product in a song?

I love it how Rolling In The Deep won the grammy award for best produced single because if you listen carefully you can hear a voice in the background in the opening three seconds.

I mean, this is just riddled with drunken mistakes, but I think that's part of the charm

The Great Baroque Repertoire (1934/1954) by Wanda Landowska

possibly not a recording error, but my copy had an entire disc of songs mixed in mono that would only play through the right channel, so i had to do some audacity work to fix it

Sort piano bit at around 1:40, there a couple of notes that sound off.
Pretty sure this wasn't meant to happen, but it just wouldn't be the same without it.

Michael Stipe's laugh at 2:32 always makes me smile, and I'd take a guess that it wasn't intentional, but kept in regardless.

You can hear phone ring in this one,but the singer just gleefully laughs.But then again this is lo-fi and anti-folk so I wouldn't be surprised if these kinds of things are common in this genre.

The faint voice of an Asian woman speaking in the beginning wasn't intentionally placed there.Rivers' amplifier was receiving radio interference,he felt it was divine intervention, and left it on the recording rather than edit it out.

It's the imperfections in songs sometimes that ensure the sum of the parts is perfection!

i always find it interesting when a mistake makes it into a released CD... sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.

a couple intentional inclusions that spring to mind:

1) on The Breeders' Title TK, in the final song "Huffer", Kim Deal flubs one of the lyrics and says "Fuck!" but keeps going, and i think it adds a charming bit of human fallibility to the song.

2) on MeShell Ndegeocello's Bitter, the song "Wasted Time" (a duet with Joe Henry) abruptly ends in the middle of a line. i love the disc, and at the time i thought maybe it was a manufacturing error. i wrote to the record company, and i actually got a reply... apparently the tape ran out in the middle of a take, but the singers and producer were so thrilled with the quality of the performances in the take that the decided to release it that way.

an annoying accidental mistake:

3) on Lilys' In The Presence Of Nothing, in the long droning intro to "Elizabeth Colour Wheel" there is a glitch as the result of a mastering error. unfortunately, a corrected version has never been released.

the most annoying accidental mistake:

4) in the 2-disc remastered reissue of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, there is a glaring digital transfer audio glitch in one of the two versions of "What You Want". what's really annoying is that the remasters were announced years before they were actually released, and they were delayed and delayed and delayed some more, and in all that time apparently nobody bothered to actually listen to the finished product and fix an ugly mistake.
