It's pretty bad when you spell the big boss's name wrong. Herb Alpert has had that "Albert" spelling a few times on official product. Here it is on one of his 45s. It's also misspelled on the spine of the orange GREATEST HITS LP, and there's a whole subsection on eBay where you can find articles attributed to Herb AlBert.
He's the lead singer on "Whispering Bells" Was the concept of multi-group touring (a la the later Platters and Drifters) in existence at this point? Perhaps this was the KJ edition.
On the CD reissue of the Carpenters' CARPENTERS album (the tan one), the album title is misspelled on the face of the CD, adding an extra "E".
What is the accepted story? I first heard that it was a BB track that BP's name was accidentally placed on, but I just read that BB did a demo and TPTB preferred it to BP's take (the implication being they shafted BB deliberately) Wiki also says BB wrote the song, but note the credit on the single.
T. Rex's Cadilac. The Incredible String Band's Koeeoaddi There was spelt as Koeeaddi There on a 1992 reissue and Koeeoaadi There on 1991 BBC album. Easy to make a mistake there though I Suppose.
Lee Michaels' first album, the engineer was "Jim Mecina" (Messina). Peter Gabriel playing "bass brum" on Trespass. How that misspelling wound up only on the US copy is beyond me (didn't they just scan the original?)
All of this orthographic hubbub has prompted me to take up learning Portuguese, a language with over four-thousand irregular verbs!
Epic Records had a tough time with the names of a couple of the Yardbirds. Chris Dreja became Drega and Ereja, and Jim McCarty became McCarthy.
I have a copy of this - there is a variety of Paul McCartney's "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" 45 rpm in the U.S. in which his name is spelled "Pual" on one side.
Down (3) - Down II (A Bustle In Your Hedgerow...) On the cover of Down II, Phil Anselmo is spelt Phil Angelino.
The Jethro Toe incident was deliberately engineered by their manager who hated the band name ‘Jethro Tull.’ Apparently he thought it would force them to adopt the printed name.
Chuck Berry album "St Louis to Liverpool", on the cover "Promised Land" on the back cover "Promise Land".
Rik Emmett was actually Rick Emmett but there was a production error in the first Triumph album and his name was mispelled. So he changed his name because he didn't want the album recalled or the fans to get confused.
