The Most Prominent Glitches and Edits

[Scastles]

There are numerous edits and glitches on the Beatles recordings. Some standout more than others, especially during the early recordings. What are some of the more noticeable ones to you? I'm not speaking of the added little off mic sounds or comments which were accidentally picked up, but the edits, and the playing and singing faux pas.
One of my favorites has always been the Strawberry Fields edit, but there are others, including even the takes where not every member was on the same page when it came to the lyrics.
Some edits are near perfection and hard to distinquish. Others are not so.

I recall that infamous "dead spot" of a second or two, where somebody stopped playing guitar on Day Tripper about 2/3 of the way through...

I love McCartney's voice cracking on If I Fell. I also like the creek and "shush" at the end of A Day in the Life. This can turn into a great thread. I'll save some of the others and see what others have to say.

I like the 'sneeze' or whatever it is after the feedback on 'I Feel Fine.'

She Loves You has numerous edits. Check out the swooshing hi-hat as that gives most of the edits away. A couple are also slightly off the beat.
I Wanna Be Your Man has an edit before and after the guitar solo.
Little Child has an edit in the harmonica solo, pretty noticeable on the Stereo mix, as the harmonica part was recorded "live," a lot of the background leaks through.
The single version of Please Please Me has an earlier verse edited in place of the 'mistake.'
The longer version of I'll Cry Instead has a noticeable edit adding on another verse, seems like it's a earlier generation copy, so the treble is much clearer.
The stereo version of I Call Your Name has a different guitar intro edited on, sans cowbell and is edited in different places depending on the source. Most edit the cowbell take into the song in a non-musical manner Same with the guitar solo.

There are a bunch of others, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.

+1 for the LIttle Child edit----jumps out so much it is a detriment.

Here are 3 things I've never heard anybody mention, nor read about in any book. Two are major cutoffs of two major Lennon vocals:
1. Revolution: his scream is cut off before it is finished, but so close to the end it is hard to notice.
2. Happiness is a Warm Gun: Again, his last verse with the extended "gun" cuts off at the tail end of the word gun---again, hard to notice.

3. Possibly an extra bass note: At :40 of Savoy Truffle, McCartney sticks in what sounds like an extra beat----he may have gone too far and hit an extra note, although it could be intentional---the timing seems a little off, making it appear that he was so into it he was over-zealous. I love the effect, so maybe it was intentional. Thoughts?

I've always been curious about the dead spot. I tend to think it was an engineering gaffe. It's so clean, it sounds like a pot was dropped in the final mix.

End of Sexy Sadie has a whole section edited out (an instrumental repeat of the "one sunny day" bridge section). See also the Peter Sellers tape.

[simer4001]

The one that most don't think of is that the last chord of Mean Mr. Mustard is the first crashing chord of Her Majesty. Origianally Her Majesty was going to be placed after Mean Mr. Mustard in the medley section. The last note to Her Majesty is cut of at the end.

How about the the false start on I'm Looking Through You on the stereo version? The mono mix cut the false start out but the stereo mix left it in.

The instrumental in Can't Buy Me Love has never seemed right to me.

[simer4001]

Neither did the lead on All You Need is Love.

[Scastles]

The instrumental in Can't Buy Me Love has never seemed right to me.

It does sound sort of off kilter. Besides George's lead being overdubbed, I wonder with the song being recorded at EMI Paris and the final mixes done at Abbey Road if it had an affect on it.

[lyle_from_minneapolis]

I always used to think "I'm a Loser" had an overdub or two just on Lennon's low notes, like "frown" or "crown"...it always sounded a bit different than the rest. Now, I'm not so sure.

The final strum on 'Her Majesty' which is edited out on the released version.
