Kinda cool they kept it in the recording.

Since most of the old guitar recordings of the 40's and 50's had underpowered or tiny amps, natural distortion or overdrive was redily available. But most avoided over driving their little suitcase-sized amps.

 

It's interesting to hear some otherwise 'clean' recordings where the guitars were slightly buzzy sounding.

apparently the guy who invented the Maestro Fuzz pedal was inspired by the guitar solo in this Marty Robbins song...1:25 or so

 

it was caused by a faulty part in the recording console, at the studio ( maybe a bad tube? )
