My dad bought an album on cassette tape when it was first released, and the particular tape he got had a defect where some of the audio was muffled for a second soon after the start of the first song.  He never went to return/exchange his cassette tape though, so he just kept listening to it that way, so I got used to hearing that.  Years later, I bought that album on CD for myself, and even though the audio was perfect and clean, at first it sounded a little odd to me without that audio defect in the first track.
