Weird to think that "When a Man Loves a Woman" was released, they only realised that the horns were out of tune[i] after[/i] it had been pressed.

Just adds to its charm, along with the Bontempi organ.

Just heard this on Radio 2, never realised the horns were out of tune before - they just sound so right.
And love the organ part, played I believe by the great Spooner Oldham. Wonderful stuff.

To be honest, I wasn't aware that they were out of tune until I read "Sweet Soul Music" by Peter Guralnick many years ago. Couldn't have been much in it (where the tuning was concerned) if the guys in the studio missed it on the playback....

I guess we are coming close to the end of the 60`s era of performers. R.I.P

If you do a little digging a lot of those cats from the 60s are still out there gigging.
