1). In the Beatles' "Run for Your Life," John Lennon sings "I'd rather see you dead little girl than to be with another man." Lennon stole this line from the Elvis version of the song "Baby, Let's Play House."2). There are two versions of Elvis' "In the Ghetto." One has a horn section in the first verse and one doesn't. Go figure.
3). There are two versions of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds." One version features the chorus at the end being continually faded in and out for several minutes. Was this an attempt by RCA to make an Elvis recording fit into the psychedelic scene of 1968?? In any event - the other version of the song omits this entirely.
4). In the Beatles "Day Tripper," in the last verse after they sing "tried to please her," the sound on the right channel drops out completely for a couple of seconds. Amazingly - this happens on the official studio take of the song AND on all known bootleg versions of it!
5). During the instrumental break in the Beach Boys "Barbara Ann," Brian Wilson can be heard saying "the famous ashtray." Maybe he was making a reference to his own lungs!
6). There are two versions of Buddy Holly's "It Doesn't Matter Anymore." One version starts out with a studio engineer saying "1, 2, 2." Apparently the guy can't count very well. The other version of the song omits this mathematical genius entirely!
