My copy of Uriah Heep "Wake the Sleeper" album, which managed to misprint "Tears of the World" as "Teas of the World", which would bring a whole new vibe to the song.
Similarly on the 'Imagine' album , Mike Badfinger and Tom Badfinger. This could have been some kind of joke but still...
Thats just Lennon humor and would have been taken by them as a joke. I think Lennon credited people like this on other albums.
Which reminds me . . . Sly & The Family Stone's first hit had the composer's surname likewise misspelt . . .
On every copy of Led Zeppelin II I've ever seen, there is a typo: "The Lemon Song" should actually be spelled "Killing Floor." /sarcasm //yes, I love them. ///love the original, too.
Wasn't there a Donovan song that was mistakenly called "Poor Cow" but had a completely different title?
As mentioned, I know virtually nothing of the language - just that "mais" or some spelling/accent variant thereof means "corn". My guess was probably way off base, but it still made me chuckle.
Another Elton John one: Nigel Olsson's name is misspelled on the credits listed on the back cover of Empty Sky:
He had a lot of fun with it. I still laugh at these from Some Time in New York City, Derek Claptoe, Kief Spoon...
Yet more from Elton John. This French CD called GREATEST HITS got the title of its final track wrong. It's listed as "Island Man", but it's really "Island Girl".
The first one that comes to mind is the original Lynyrd Skynyrd One More For the Road cd with Garry Rossington on keyboards. The double whammy of first spelling his name wrong and then crediting him with playing keyboards. Lol. And also no credit anywhere for Billy Powell.
"Paul McArtrey" was how John referred to Paul (along the lines of him calling Clapton "Derek Claptoe", etc., etc.) As Bill Harry was a close friend of John's (and I think, for a short period of time, a roommate of John's and Stu's] he'd probably heard John refer to Paul as "McArtrey" a bunch of times, assumed it was his actual name and printed it that way.
