I'm listening to the outakes on the link that was posted a few pages back.

The room sounds amazing. No comp, no reverb, no nothing but Frank, the mic, and the room
......yes just had a listen to these too, they are fantastic.........amazing how when the vocal comes in it sounds so big and full..........yet he's clearly back from the mic, I think in comparison to a lot of swing stuff to-day where the vocalist is close miced, the former approach is far preferable. However it does sound like there is a verb on his voice as well as the room ? also wondering how they dealt with his vocal in the mix.....did they ride the faders or limit in any way? or would the final takes have been balanced on the floor between Frank and the engineers?
