Do you know what year they recorded it ?

I do know that Tannoy microphones were more acceptable than they are now.
You are talking about a difficult audio problem. I can't think of a solution that could get any sort of consensus. Good thing you guys are the boss. :)

It was a split recording of 4 males and 4 females which generated all three popular choirs; the 8, the males and the females! It was recorded at IBC, London and one of the singers was a chap named Ted Taylor who went on to record the dullest sounding choir ever.  We are currently rescuing it from oblivion once we can mitigate the distortion and the fact he used a loudspeaker as a microphone.
