I'm glad I'm not the only one that realizes how beautiful the vocals are on that song
Might be my favourite human vocals ever recorded, period.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Even if they aren't human - they're no zombies, either.
There's lots of awesome vocals to be found with the Zombies. My favourites would be "Care of Cell 44" and "This Will Be Our Year".

It's a bit hard to choose considering how amazing their vocals were on the vast majority of songs, especially from Surfer Girl up to Holland but I will probably go with:
Hushabye - listen to the vocal split from the GV box, heavenly!
Girls On The Beach - the blend, the key changes, Dennis' middle 8, all sublime
Wouldn't It Be Nice - the stack-o-vocals from TPSS box are a revelation
Heroes & Villians - so many different and complex parts, a vocal tour de force
A Young Man Is Gone - 02:18 of pure a cappella brilliance, only topped by the next song...
Our Prayer - so amazing I can't think of any superlatives that do it justice
Cabin Essence - Carls' lead, the 'doings', the 'who ran the iron horse' section vocals, 'truck drivin' man' vocals and finally Mike's killer 'Grand Coulee Dam' parts - by the end of the song I feel worn out from marvelling at the vocal prowess on display.

The "Cantina Version" of Heroes and Villians... The crude yelling sound is amazing...

AND has anyone/everyone heard the vocal only mix of 'Cottonfields' ? PHeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww
Does it circulate?
Maybe I'm having a brain fart, but I can't recall hearing this one. Must sound incredible. 20/20 version, or single version?
Only ( sadly) on a B**tleg ( honestly can't remember which one off hand , I have too many of the things - In fact as years go on I begin to forget what is actually released and what isn't
), and its the single version
It was on Youtube for a bit cos I let my mate hear it in order to blow his mind, those backing vocals are something else!
