Reply to comment by wowbobwow in TIL When soul legend Wilson Picket recorded his iconic version of "Mustang Sally," he & his band rushed to hear the playback. The tape machine broke, cutting the tape into 30-40 tiny pieces. The engineer Tom Dowd carefully spliced them all back together, & that's the famous album version by wowbobwow
The documentary Muscle Shoals is excellent and goes into a lot of those recordings. That backing band played on soooo many amazing records

Definitely recommend Muscle Shoals too if you liked that one!
