"The Big Hurt" reached #3 on Billboard in 1959. From the Wikipedia entries:
"The Big Hurt" is notable because it featured phasing effects which at that time were rare in popular music... claim that "The Big Hurt" was the first commercial recording to feature a technique (or effect) now known as flanging.Wikipedia also has an entry of recordings that include a prominent flanging effect. Lots of familiar titles there, including several Beatles songs, ELO, Doobies, Eagles, and "Killer Queen."
The name "flanging" comes from the original method of creation. Originally, a signal would be recorded to two tape machines simultaneously. The playback-head output from these two recorders was then mixed together onto a third recorder. In this form, minute differences in the motor speeds of each machine would result in a phasing effect when the signals were combined. The "flange" effect originated when an engineer would literally put a finger on the flange, or rim of one of the tape reels so that the machine was slowed down, slipping out of sync by tiny degrees...
Older recording hardware could suffer from flanging as an undesired side effect when recording very long tracks. As the weight of the tape built up on one reel, the pressure on the capstans could cause flanging during mixdown or dubbing...
