I don't believe I've heard "Because" in years... and you did the "Beatles" nicely. Enjoyed.

Jim ... very well done ... would you care to share recording techniques?
I've read that the Beatles (John, Paul, & George) recorded this three times to have nine voices on the track ...
Interesting stuff here, FWIW ...

Nice job, Jim. We used to do that with my group back in the day. Tricky little toon.

clapexcellent Jimmy awesome job sounds great!
Multitracking really allows you to create amazing songs vs just a one shot version.

Great job, Jim. This had to be very difficult to record. Love to read the techniques used, as well.

Thanks for the compliments friends.
Yes, the technique is to really thickens the vocals like the Beatles did as Tony said.

I used wav file format to record to minimized sonic losses due to multiple overdubbings. I don't have a multitrack recorder so I just used my SD9 to record and used it's voicetron for harmony. You can use any vocal processing/harmony equipment to record.

Steps for this song:
1) I used a quality backing track of this song
2) I recorded the backing track with first vocal harmony
3) I overdubbed the previous recording with another vocal harmony (slightly different type)
4) Finally, I overdubbed with lead vocal with unison vocal effect

Result is a very thick choir-like vocals

Hope this helps.
