They were freestyling much of the track during that recording session and didn't want to start over so just decided fuck it, and the rest is history.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Studio time probably wasn't cheap too.

Some of the early pre-Catch a Fire Bob Marley recordings have mistakes left and right, but they didn't do multitrack recording in those days and they could only afford one or two takes per song.

That would absolutely never fly today, everything must be perfect to the degree that it's kind of soulless.
