Some Dylan albums have tracks where he laughs because he screwed up the chords or sang the wrong verse... awesome!


Jack Black with his record company does this saying "the mistakes are the best part of the song."

Thelonious Monk was the same way, one maybe two takes.
Very rarely a third take and NEVER and fourth take.

Even The Beatles who spent thousands of hours on their albums would leave in mistakes because it sounded better with them.

The cool effect on the cover on Rubber Soul was a mistake and they picked it because it was the coolest looking picture.

Are you referring to the slightly stretched picture? I always thought that was on purpose.

Yes and no - It was done on purpose after they found out by mistake that it could be done. Kind of like the feedback on "I Feel Fine".

Ah, but what's heard is not always for real - re: the staged directions Terry gives Ed on "Easy For You," revealed as such on the Buechner's Making-Of DVD.

Yeah the artist took the pictures and used a projector to show them on a chunk of cardboard. The cardboard almost fell over causing the picture to be distorted and the band asked that it be done that way.

Half staged - half real. The 'come in here Ed' is real direction from Terry, the 'ok' is a staged response.

I think Terry plans on getting the ball rolling on new DA after he gets the Swine Before Pearl thing going.

Of course Lennon said the feedback done was on purpose in a 1980 interview.
So, who knows?

Posted by Audiori J on 12-03-2010 at08:07:

 

Yeah and I think that feedback is on other takes of the song. I suppose its possible it was by accident the first time and after that they were doing it on purpose.

Which, by staggering coincidence, is precisely what I said, i.e. that they did it on purpose after they found out by accident that it could be done.



McCartney's account is that Lennon leaned his guitar against his amplifier during a rehearsal, forgetting to turn it down first, and the guitar's A string began to vibrate from the resultant feedback. Lennon liked the sound and asked George Martin if it was possible to reproduce the effect and capture it on tape, and that was the genesis for the idea.

It's kind of like how they came about the idea for stretching the photo image for the cover of Rubber Soul. Stop me if you've heard this one...

Yeah I realize what you said, I was merely responding to Dennis reiterating that the accident and on purpose theory might not actually contradict what Lennon said in that interview.
