You Don't Always Have
to Fix Recording Problems:
“In July, 1961,
Marty Robbins and a group of musicians were in the process of recording
the song “Don't Worry”. Noted guitarist Grady
Martin played the mid-song guitar solo, not realizing that a tube had blown in the taping mechanism. Playback revealed an odd
fuzzy distortion of every note played on Grady's
bass guitar. Instead of correcting the problem and re-recording, producer
Don Law liked the sound and left it in. Don't Worry
was a hit, in the #1 spot for ten weeks. The sound was
later harnessed and has been used in recordings by many artists. To this
day, it is known as "fuzztone".”
