No way is it print through. It's too loud and the delay is too long. They would have been running the tape at 1 ips. It's a clever idea, who knows how they thought of it.

(Listen again -- I hear the tuning moving with it.)

This got me back to listening to some of the old Alman Bros. stuff, and it turns out that it was Jessica that had that 'tape-speed thang' on the acoustic intro. (Memory fart.)

...Upon listening again to Sweet Melissa, I think what we're hearing is an edit between two different takes of the intro, each of which had slightly different tempos/phrasings.

Hmmm...

Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up from the album Heartbreaker. Just after the 4 minute mark after the harmonica solo, the drummer hit the kick late on one of the little staccato parts. Blatantly obvious, but the song sounds so great. I'm in love with the drum sound on that song; and really, the whole album.

That makes more sense, as the guitarists in that band have great rhythm!
Only other thing could be a magic live take where everything was so good that they just left the one odd moment- but it seems more likely someone in the booth had something to do with it.

Hey, I enjoy it but I've always wondered about how it came about...

I seriously cannot believe that I've never noticed that. I can't listen to it now without almost holding my breath waiting for the slide to come in.

I was listening to Van Halen III today, on the song "once" you can hear a metronome or some kind of tempo click during the intro while the keyboards are playing.

The biggest mistake I hear on some big hits is the fact that someone pushed the record button.

Totally understandable misinterpretation, but the lyrics are, "We are spirits in the material world."

Your version takes the lyrics in a totally different existential direction

Beginning of type 0 negatives everyone I love is dead.

The start of the solo to the eagles Take It Easy is clipped to shit.

GnR - Nightrain. Last drum hit before the riff is late

Yeah, I totally understand why they didn't "fix" that.

That little artifact stands a musical middle-finger to the very idea that perfectoin is somehow optimum!

Always made me look out the window when I listened to the album.

Dude! What about the track on Exile where you can hear bacon frying in the adjacent kitchen? I think it's one of the slow blues, anyone remember?
