The additional benefit of using the setup in the tracking room is that like some of the others the speaker out of phase thing makes my head want to implode.

Steve, what year was that?!
I agree with Fletcher & co, clever tricks are not necessary to make this work, just record at a reasonable level.
However, if this is done in the control room it can be problematic if the vocal is monitored at any significant level.
All the overdubs - vocals, guitars, etc - on
this one were done live to control-room mains.
