Mastering errors in Paul's Archive series?

Hey people I've heard there have been lots of mastering error in Paul's Archive series, such as an extra drum beat in Love Is Strange and a skip in Magneto And Titanium Man, but I'd like to ask if there are more? Thanks in advance :)

There's a weird glitch in "Souvenir" off Flaming Pie. Kind of a screechy sound. It's right at the end of the last chorus/beginning of the coda. This noise only appears on the remaster. The original is clean.

Otherwise I think you got them covered.

There's no skip in my magneto and titanium man.

The skip only occurs on the CD. The hi-res download is fine.

Yes, I caught it at 2'46" in. The Hi Res is just fine.

There is also a glitch in the last note of "One More Kiss" (2:24).

Here's a few more I've recently noticed:

There's a glitch in "Hold Me Tight" at the start of the second verse. "You won't be going out (glitch) tonight". Sounds like a bad attempt at taming the sibliance during that line.

"Wild Life" (the song) has the channels narrowed a bit. Also there's a very faint glitch during the prelude ("The word wild applies to...")

"Bip Bip" has always been very hissy, but on the Archive remaster the hiss sort of fades in and out during the intro. Strange.

"Zoo Gang" on the BOTR Archive has absolute silence during the breaks. On pre-Archive releases of the track faint percussion could be heard at those points.

"Maybe I'm Amazed" on the McCartney Archive has the drumstick noise right before the first chorus removed.

They also fade out the song a couple of seconds early, due to the left channel being muted at that point in the original mix. They wanted to hide that for some reason…

The June 6th 1971 tape on the "Wild Life" Archive Collection has speed issues, but it seems to be a flat transfer (both the audio, and the video tapes on the DVD -tho the latter is slightly reframed-)

On most releases of "Band on the Run" you can hear a thump in the fadeout, but the Archive version fades just before the thump.
