Anyone notice a little slip by Mark on the guitar at approximately 2:34 after he sings "fireman Marvin Seng".
There is such a thing. Damn, I didn't notice until I read your post. And what is it in the end, a jamb of mastering/mixing?

Haven't a clue, sorry.  Recording glitch or mistake by Mark?  I can't help but notice it either and it's annoying.  I'm very surprised nobody else has noticed it.

It is not that bad.

But how can I stop hearing this crap now? I drank whiskey, it doesn't help.

Blimey it's the most miniscules of slips that until dmg said anything I didn't notice myself....
I still have a job to notice it when I keep playing this beautiful track - you have to be really concentrating at the certain point to really notice. Perhaps you notice it more when you're not doing a great deal?!

I have listened intently a few times and can't hear anything amiss.

The start of the bend is maybe a bit inaccurate. But nothing serious.

It's just a phrasing thing, not a slip in my opinion.  Remember,  all mistakes are intentional.
They wouldn't let a greenie or slip get on the meticulously produced record.
 
...Well, he's a big star now but I've been a fan of his for years. The way he sings and plays guitar still bring me to tears...

listening intently this time and I agree it's not a slip but the start of a 'Knopfler bend' into the leading notes...

I really like the female vocals on this one. The intro is fantastic.

Yes! Emma and Tamsin. An amazing introduction to a gangster story.

I must admit that I'm not a big fan of female harmony singers, but these two Ladies really did a great job on the whole album.
What an impressive album. Everything seems to be right.

I don't really see the point.  It's like they've been shoehorned into the album here and there as a favour or something!  I don't totally dislike them but they don't add anything to me that a synth, strings or perhaps even some percussion sound wouldn't add.

I'm with you and think the female vocals really work and give a proper sense of suspense better than a synth or similar would have done...

I just have to say I strongly disagree. I think the human voice adds something very special, and the vocal arrangement on Tunnel 13 is spectacular. On Watch Me Gone, though, I hate it  ;D

My favorite song of Mark's where he's using a female backup singer is Back On The Dance Floor. Imelda May adds that incredible element of sensuality. Sexiness even. So hot.
