Phase Fun in the Summertime

*** Update: the erroneous transfer below has since been removed for “copyright infringement” ***

I was importing some old CDs into iTunes yesterday and came across an anomaly on Sly and Family Stone’s Greatest hits. This one is for all you young, budding engineers. See if you can hear the error that was made on the original transfer to CD (top video) versus the correction that they made on later transfers.

Updated Transfer (someone, luckily heard the error and corrected it on later versions)

Wow.

Interestingly enough, the *wrong* version has 420,000 MORE views!
