I just picked up the first Kingston Trio album at a thrift store sale yesterday and it's blown me away. Mostly on the basis that that was 1958 and they were recording live in the studio. Those group vocals are just insanely good.

You may be interested in the vocal overdubbing on this: http://www.hulkshare.com/2kf1c5lak4u8

(Judee Sill 'The Donor' which hulkshare seems to have taken the liberty to pitch down for you)

It obviously influenced this pretty heavily: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-SVE8ox8O4

(which I know you're not necessarily a fan of, but that great intro vamp remains)
