It isn’t really special, but there’s the bit in Bohemian Rhapsody where Roger Taylor’s high backing vocal is a bit longer than everyone else’s. I’m pretty sure that was a mistake that was left in, possibly because they couldn’t take it out with the tech they had back then.
I’ve heard that they nearly lost the recording because their tape machine had a minor flaw which scraped away some of the tape and which nearly ate the whole tape because of how much multi track overdubbing they were doing.
I think you’re right, that does sound familiar. Could you imagine accidentally destroying the tapes for BR?!
Yea they apparently realised rather late when the tape was close to destroyed.
It's so harmonious though.
It is, I think it adds character.
