I do think many of these errors are possible to fix with software like Audacity.
I have also fixed some masters and outtakes with faults in them over the years.
The very first one I did was the Mary In The Morning glitch on Nashville Marathon in 2002.
The one I wish I could fix properly is the error made by Elvis early in the Young And Beautiful 1972 rehearsal.
That was no error...just typical Elvis humor
Maybe…or maybe not,could be that Elvis for a split moment forgot the lyrics ….whatever reason I wish it was
possible to fix/edit it with a good result.
Always keen to hear about slight imperfections which, as everyone generally agrees, don't detract from the overall listening pleasure. I'm not much interested in where production glitches occur on anything that has been released since the original master was produced but it's the individual vocal and musical imperfections that fascinate me.
I came to this forum to see if anyone knew what that really noticeable squeak on So Glad You're Mine was. As this track was recorded at the time Elvis was recording his first album but not included on it, I wondered if that squeak was the reason the track was held back - and maybe only included on his second album to make the numbers up?
Also interesting are the vocal errors during the first post-army sessions. These are:
Stuck On You - Elvis forgets the lyrics in the first occurrence of the last verse and sings another couple of 'ah-ha-ha's' and 'oh yeah' instead of the 'yes siree' (which he corrects in the repeated verse)
A Mess Of Blues - Elvis extends the word 'gone' in the last verse ('Since you're go-oh-oh-oh-one') to the extent that he doesn't have time to sing the 'I' in 'I got a mess of blues'.
I Gotta Know - I'm pretty sure bass vocalist, Ray Walker, sings the wrong line at the end of the song when Elvis sings 'Will you kiss away my cares and woe' (it sounds like he starts to sing 'Tell me if you love me yes or no' instead).
It Feels So Right - in the first occurrence of the last verse before Elvis repeats it, he sings 'We're gonna love our whole life through' instead of 'whole life long', so that stands out as it doesn't rhyme with 'how can it be wrong'.
