Full article:
Al Jardine (Beach Boys) : Brian auditioned all of us at the microphone. We all had a crack at singing a verse, but he wasn't satisfied and ended up doing it himself. Of course, I was accustomed to singing it in the folk style, so I wasn't prepared for the pop approach which I now understand.
Mark Linett (Pet Sounds re-mix producer) : That was done first on a 3-track, then bounced to 4-track, then bounced to another 4-track. The main lead and main backgrounds are on one pair of tracks, having been sung like that. Then there's another set of background vocals that were added on the final 4-track - the very, very high parts - and on that there's also actually a 12-string picking guitar part that was also added at the end.
