The Who, "Rael." The previous day's multitrack session tape had been damaged by the studio custodian who mistakenly threw it in a dumpster. The engineer was able to salvage everything but the intro/first lines, for which the mono safety mixdown was used, and edited into the final mix.

Soft Machine - Facelift. I prefer the first section. Mike Ratledge does the best thing ever done on a keyboard in it.

Janis Ian's 'Mistaken Identity' has lots of weird tape splices, most obvious at 2:14 (where the track flipflops between two different instrumental sections in different keys/tempos) and again at 5:42 (where Janis's interjected 'aww—' is cut off to make way for the chorus). it's like they didn't know what to do with the source material so they stitched it together on a whim and hoped the result would come across more as trippy beatlesism than as incompetent engineering. it works, mostly.

also I'm not sure if the rhythmic hiccup at 1:26 in Stevie Wonder's 'Boogie On Reggae Woman' is artistic license or sloppy editing, as it doesn't appear at any other point in the track:

gentle giant "the moon is down" - you can actually hear the tape squeal at 2:38. the whole "acquiring the taste" record gives off a strong "edited together in the studio" vibe (they never really did any of it live except "plain truth"), but that edit is particularly noticeable.

boy, that edit right after the second verse of "i'm ready for love" by martha and the vandellas is ROUGH.

That really awkward way the sample of Sylvia in Moby's 'Sunday' just cuts off with no fading or anything

yeah, surprised that hasn't come up before, it's pretty blatant. knowing floyd they probably didn't bother to keep an uncut version, but the alt lyrics version shows that the cut section was likely another go-round on the "why'd you have to leave me there hanging in my infant air" melody. who the hell knows why or who decided that it was utterly imperative to cut those fifteen seconds!

yeah definitely, it's so blatant that it almost seems like it was done on purpose. more likely they just liked the way it wound up sounding.
The Police "Be My Girl - Sally" is probably the sloppiest example of this I can think of, it's literally done mid-guitar riff

"Paper Planes" has really obvious edits after almost every stanza, clipping off halfway through M.I.A. taking a breath.

"elvis costello, man out of time (not like he tried to hide it tho)"
this is basically a splice between two different songs though

Sloan's "The Good in Everyone" has a couple of whiplash tempo shifts at the intro and the outro that make me air-drum like a loon. The single version plays it straight and is awesome. On the album version, they fuck it up by splicing in audience noise over just the intro and outro, making the shift sound like terrible edits.

The one that’s always stayed with me is the chorus of “Ready For The Weekend” by Calvin Harris:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO4msvIA7cw&t=1m10sThe diva vocals are all from one take except for the punctuating “weekend”, and there’s a pause just long enough to make it noticeable.Of course it’s a song I enjoy so I’ve sort of gotten over it. And it may even be deliberate for all I know.

as much as it pains me to say it, Kesha's "Praying" (especially the first "I hope you're somewhere / praying," the "praying" comes in a split-second too early)

Do single versions count or is that a little obvious?
Listening to the extras disc on the last Bowie box set and holy crap the single edit of Scary Monsters sounds like it was done by a 3-year-old.
