I heard it on the radio about a month or so ago. The DJ said that they
had totaled over one hundred and twenty voices on that tune through
multi tracking. If he was right, they must have had 3 or 4 people
tracked at a time per note (or fader) or I would think the recording
would be pretty noisy to do that much bouncing down. I did not listen to
it again since this thread but I think there was some singing in unison?
Each individual note sounds awfully full.(If the DJ was right and Andy
T. remembers 48 tracks- 3 voices per note or fader?)

Jon remembers the 48 tracks - I heard 24, or I think I did. Is 1975 a bit
early to be hooking up two 24-track machines? Were there any 48-track desks?
*Loads* of reverb on it, of course, making it all sound bigger.
