Maybe that's the sound they were going for, but it sounds.....unusual, to me...
Welllllllllll, ya gotta remember that they had to remix the entire album in a short amount of time (like overnight) because the original album master mixes got erased while going through JFK's scanners when they were bringing them to Reprise to master the album. THAT may have something to do with the disjointedness of the vocal blend. I'll bet the entire album sounded a helluva lot better on those original mixes.
