Anomalies O
0:02 Listen!
Paul says "remember to step it up, John", then coughs, then hums a few notes to hit the opening notes right (0:09). Best heard when this track is OOPS'd. Laughter and joking by the other Beatles too.
0:10
A clap to mark the start of vocal track.
1:08, 1:17
Three clicks at each of the two points.
1:18
John says "home", in reference to the following line.
1:42
After the line "lets the children lend a hand", the first time George says "arm", and John says "leg".
2:05
In the words "Life goes on, bra / La la how the" there is a vocal punch-in, marked by an audible tweet just after. This is a by-product of the two separate erasing operations, causing an audible sound.
2:13-2:17
John says and spells out "home" at 2:13. Some other talking follows.
2:33
After the line "lets the children lend a hand" George says "foot".
0:00, 0:03
Right channel, the snares on the drumkit rattle audibly to the guitar riff.
1:54
Right channel, a horrible pop sound. At high volumes, this hurts! Is it possible that Ringo accidentally smacked one of the microphones with a drumstick? The pop is in time to the fill.
0:34-0:35
Click (centred) Maybe from drumsticks? Also, a sharp loud breath.
0:53
The bass note on the down beat goes very dead, almost like a really slack string! The following note is stepped-to correctly.
1:08, also 3:19-3:25
Daniel Caccavo says :-
"John (or George, I haven't checked the bible) uses guitar amp tremolo in the bridge arpeggiated sections, which is activated by a footswitch. Going into the first (I think it's the first) bridge [1:08], he accidentally pushes the switch one note early, which gives the big chord a tremolo effect (which I'm sure was unintentional). It sort of sounds like a tape dropout, but isn't. He also kicks in the tremolo for the last two chords of the song [3:19] (and the plucking of the ends of the strings at the close)."
1:30
A possible drop-in in the bass line, or slightly late playing of one note here.
1:25-1:27
Keyboard player continues playing "verse" pattern once the solo starts, then quickly corrects to the "solo" pattern.
1:53
Someone "whoops" in the background, or some kind of squeak.
2:22
Isolated "Yeah!" in background.
2:31-2:33
Organ crackles and breaks up.
Whole song
Bass guitar intonation is dubious, the higher notes are distinctly sharp, lower notes are a bit flat.
0:33
Occasionally reported as a shout, it's John affirming that he begged her on his bended knees - "Yes I did!"
