What is your favorite recording with a quirck


I recently began to play some CD's I had stored away. Two of my favorites are "Rhapsodies" Stokowski RCA Living Stero 09026-61503-2 and Shirley Horn "You Won't Forget Me" Verve 847 482-2. These stick in my mind because they are recorded well. But also they have something quircky present.

In the Stokowski recording on track #6 Tristan und Isolde when I listen closely I hear a whirring sound like a turbine starting up. I asked a friend who lived in New York city and he suggested it was the subway underneath the building where this recording was made. Intersting I thought as my audio system could resolve and reveal this sound caught on the rcording.

Another moment of testing resolving ability was on the title track of Shirley Horn's recording of You won't forget me. During the song Miles Davis makes what seems to be a sarchastic sour note and Shirley in response whispers a**hole.

Have you any favorite quircky tests of resovling power on recordings that you have found?

Sun Ra "Heliocentric worlds vol.1', on the original ESP record on side 1 there is very strange asian folk music in the background for a good deal of the side, very low volume. It was edited out on the CD and all reissues of the LP such as the Base records version.
Waifs - A brieff History LIve - "Here if you want" - a beautiful balad is interupted towards the end by a mobile telephone - "turn teh bloody phone off" she yells after the song.
From the Strangers In the Night album, on You're Driving Me Crazy Frank fluffs the word hurt in the line "Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me", he sings 'hu hurt me', couldn't believe my ears the first time I heard it.
Queen 'Live' Its a kind of Tragic, the volume gets tweaked a little to quickly as the increase in volume is quite noticeable, although I would prefer the volume going the other way personally.
On the Emerson, Lake, & Palmer Trilogy lp, the song "The Sheriff" starts out with a drum solo, then short a break. During the break you can hear someone say "sh!t" before the drumming starts back up.
