Here's an interesting clip of Elton John's backing band (I've always thought they were one of the best in the business)
explaining how they recorded backing vocals in the early days, along with producer Gus Dudgeon.

Really interesting Dave... thanks for sharing that. It's easy to forget that they were dealing with limited tracks back in those days.

Great to hear them isolated, sans effects; a blend like that doesn't come from a box.
