Mistakes in Beatles recordings (1 Viewer)

I reckon the guy who came up with that list has spent a lot of time sitting on the M50 with the cd player on.
 
From "i am the Walrus"
3:54-4:33
Not really an anomaly, but seems to keep popping up, so I'll include it. Towards the end, there is talking, fading in and out of the mix. It's from Shakespeare's 'Tragedy of king lear' - the scene is like this ... times added as a guide Osw. Slave, (3:53) Thou hast slain me:- villian, take my purse. If ever thou wilt thrive, (4:02) bury my body, and give the (4:05) letters which thous findest about me to (4:08) Edmund Earl of Gloster. (4:10) Seek him out upon the British party. :- O, (4:14) Untimely Death!
Edg. (4:23) I know thee well, a (4:25) serviceable villain. As duteous to the (4:27) vices of thy mistress as badness would desire.
Glo. What, is he dead?
Edg. (4:31) Sit you down father, rest you. (Ends) Let's see these pockets, the letters that he speaks of may be my friends.. He's dead. I am only sorry he had no other deaths man.
How did this get there? Well, it was being broadcast on the radio at the time of the recording, and got mixed in for effect. They just tuned to a station and - there it was! This was not a planned thing, according to evidence in Lewisohn's book. The play was being transmitted on the radio at the time the mixing was being done (compare studio records with an extract from the Radio Times progam listing magazine), and was added live into the mix. This is the reason the mix slips into mono if you listen to the stereo version. It would be impossible to exactly duplicate the mix as the Shakespeare was not recorded anywhere but the finished master.

Thats mad, not really a mistake... your mans a freak for so much useless information.
