I've never experienced this personally, but there's apparently an issue with the mastering of Drive-By Truckers' "English Oceans" where people whose ears are capable of hearing certain higher frequencies can hear a high-pitched squealing sound on certain tracks. I can't hear it, but I guess it's bad enough that it makes the record unlistenable for some people.

Somebody pointed out there’s an out of tune guitar in Given To Fly like over 10 years ago on here and I’ve never been able to listen to that song again since then without that part sticking out. It’s during the second pre-chorus.

That reminds me, I'm pretty sure there's a similar issue with the album mix of the Cure's Lovesong - it's like a very faint high-pitched whine, like CRT TVs used to make.
When the solo kicks in, it sounds like to me they got a little too carried away boosting the levels of almost all instruments before drawing them back down. Great moment though.

The guitar feedback at the start of the Beatles' "I Feel Fine" (one of the first uses of guitar feedback ever) was apparently the result of a complete accident.
Quote:
McCartney: "John had a semi-acoustic Gibson guitar. It had a pickup on it so it could be amplified ... We were just about to walk away to listen to a take when John leaned his guitar against the amp. I can still see him doing it … it went, 'Nnnnnnwahhhhh!' And we went, 'What's that? Voodoo!' 'No, it's feedback.' 'Wow, it's a great sound!' George Martin was there so we said, 'Can we have that on the record?' 'Well, I suppose we could, we could edit it on the front.' It was a found object, an accident caused by leaning the guitar against the amp."

Was that an all digital recording? I remember many late '80s "DDD" CDs sounding like crap and having a weird "whirring" noise.

I just lined up the first chorus against the final repeat of the chorus (where the slow-down supposedly takes place) and the tempos are virtually identical. I think this story is a myth, or at least exaggerated
Scratch that, I think there actually is a tiny bit of a difference, but damn is it ever subtle
