I like it too, but why that choice?It's the only song with this particularity

If I recall correctly, a similar effect was used on Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon as well.

The difference being the vocal from Sunday Afternoon was recorded the way it is heard on the album whereas its likely that an untampered vocal from Lap of the Gods is on a tape somewhere gathering dust

Thanks for the clarifications, guys!

I think they were going for the "old acetate 72 style of ballroom recording sound" schmaltzy, old and romantic. Like listening to a monophonic grammaphone

They went much further of course on ANATO.


I actually prefer ITLOTG I to II.

The riveting opening alone is worth admission
