Vocal recording can be very subjective, given the fact that song and vocalist have so much to do with it..
from a personal 'engineering' point of view I am curious to know if any of you have one favourite all-time track which embodies your concept of a 'perfect' vocal recording.
personal opinions, of course.

I haven't bought a copy, and carefully thought of it, but Shania Twain
Still the One
seemed to be just dumbfoundingly good..
What a dimwit!

The Paul MaCartney vocal on "Let It Be" (from the one generation cleaner Let It Be Naked) sounds perfect to me.
If you haven't bothered to check it out, bother. I've played for hardass musicans who all say the same thing, wow.

Erik Zobler's engineering on Rachelle Ferrell's song, "Will You Remember Me?" from the album "Individuality."
Not a stitch of verb. Telefunken 251 into a MasteringLab mic pre, if I remember correctly.

Nice thought.
Have just been working with that track in a movie, and really enjoying it.

Thanks, Terry. There's something very direct about that vocal and that song... like you're plugged into Iz's emotions with a cable or something.
I picked up an original German vinyl pressing of Humble Pie's "Performance - Rockin' the Fillmore" LP last week. Listened to it last night for the first time in probably thirty years... I get that same "plugged in" feeling with Steve Marriott's vocals. I mean he could very well be singing from the telephone book, it's all in the emotions carried in his voice.
Janis was very much like this, too.
